Battersea Park is an attractive green space in Wandsworth by the River Thames.
It's 200 acres offers plenty of space for walking and games. There's also a children's zoo
The Peace Pagoda below was built in 1985.

The park opened in 1858 and is located on Battersea Fields where gentlemen settled their honour in duells. A few years before the park was created, the Duke of Wellington met the Earl of Winchilsea--both fired shots away from the other 21 March 1829.
Before leaving the park, I stopped for a coffee at the Pear Tree Hatch near the lake.
Next, I walked along the Thames River waterfront past Battersea Bridge to the renovated Battersea Power Station shopping and restaurant area.
