Battersea is the location for the start of one of my favorite books from childhood, The Borribles[0]. It has lived in my imagination all these years. Now if I ever get over there I guess I'll have something to go see. From what I heard in the old days, it was pretty rough.

It's also referenced(ish) in the gorgeous sci-fi novel Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.


And, "Black Hearts at Battersea".
