Battersea Bridge

Battersea Bridge is one of many that cross the River Thames. To the south is the area of Battersea, with the huge power station, and to the north is Chelsea. Opened in 1770, the bridge has had some problems during its long history. In 2005 it was seriously damaged after being hit by a boat, and it was closed for several months. In front of it is a much more modern bridge which stands in contrast to its classic style. The nearest tube stations are West Brompton and Fulham Broadway, and at night, you'll find plenty of little bars around the area, making it a nice place to stop for a drink.
