“The rich on the river-front, and the poor behind”.
It will include parts of Chelsea and East Fulham on the North side of the Thames, and Battersea on South side, taking in 3 Thames bridges, (Wandsworth; Battersea; & Prince Albert). The walk will encompas incredible juxtapositions of rich and poor, much more evident now than in 1987, when the walk last explored this area. Indescribably luxurious glass buildings (flats) along the waterfront, with posh restaurants built in, and then, right behind, almost within a stone’s throw, really poor estates, from 60’s/70’s. It is a pattern that keeps repeating, on both river banks.
Places of interest: Royal Chelsea Hospital, (which will already be getting ready for the next Chelsea flower show) is just off the route, but an easy detour for those who wish. King’s Rd Chelsea, renowned for smart shops is there, also Cheyne Walk, with all the blue plaques and lovely houses. On the South side, Battersea Park boating lakes are famous, and the Peace Pagoda –where peace rallies are held, overlooking the river. Old Battersea village and Battersea church are v historic (1157) where Turner painted sunsets looking over the water.
