Chimneys & Buddhas: Battersea Park

When you enter Battersea Park, 

you are transported instantly to another era. 

The park itself is a glorious mix & match 

of various styles and peculiar features, 

that surprise the eye and the mind. 

I like to call it the Alice in Wonderland park. 

Here's why... 

Battersea Park's "Tea Terrace"

The Oddities

Battersea Park is full of surprises. 

There is a soviet-style "tea terrace" as they call it, 

an enormous buddhist pagoda next to the river

and a subtropical garden (the perfect spot for a picnic). 

One thing's sure: you won't get bored.

Battersea Park's very 60s cafeteria

The Time Capsule 

From the 60s cafeteria which, to be honest, 

could do with some refurbishment, 

to the very belle epoque bandstand

you don't need more for a trip to the past.

The Fun

There are plenty of fun things to do in Battersea Park: 

rent a boat in the summer, 

go to the zoo (it's small but affordable), 

play cricket, if that's your thing, 

or have lunch by the lake at the 60s cafeteria.

Battersea Power Station white chimneys

Magical Setting 

Battersea Power Station's iconic white chimneys 

overlook the park 

while the river brings a cool breeze 

on a hot summer day... 

...on a wonderful, magically surprising day

in Battersea Park.
