The best hotels in Battersea

The ongoing £8 billion redevelopment of Battersea Power Station, one of the city’s most appealing – and most speculated about – landmarks will, naturally, include a luxury hotel to match all the luxury apartments. Until that time, the poshest of the best hotels in Battersea is Hotel Rafayel. Battersea’s prettiest part is the riverside park (with a children’s zoo), which is attractively bookended by a pair of fine bridges (Albert and Chelsea). Cross them if you want to go to Chelsea. For eating, drinking and culture, Augustine Kitchen, the Humble Grape, the Latchmere pub and the park’s Pump House Gallery are the high scorers. And if you want to stay close by, here are the best hotels in Battersea.
