Talk:Battersea

Location of Battersea Park

The Park is not in Central London. See this article (including the map), which excludes LB Wandsworth from Central London. Also see this article, which describes the borough where the park is as being in SW London. A P Monblat (talk) 03:22, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Removal of infobox image - File:Vauxhall - Nine Elms - Battersea - Pimlico at night.jpg

Not really Battersea as we know it

I have removed File:Vauxhall - Nine Elms - Battersea - Pimlico at night.jpg from the infobox. It's a lovely image, really well done. But it is not representative or evocative of Battersea, with perhaps the exception of the power station. It is mainly of the Thames at Vauxhall, and the shorelines of Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Pimlico ... Vauxhall's St. George's Wharf Tower and its Thames Clippers pier ... with a tiny bit of the periphery of Battersea in the distance. It is in my view not an appropiate lead image for Battersea.

Right now I don't have a candidate for replacement. Despite that I have removed it because its use is spreading to other language wikipedias. I'd like to avoid the situation that tout le monde is led to believe that this image is illustrative of Battersea, rather than of an variety of London settlement shorelines. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:32, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Bad map

When I clicked on the map, I got an unlabeled may of the London area with no pointer to Battersea, and no labels at all. So where is Battersea exactly? Someone who knows, please fix.

Looks like they have fixed it. Cherie Lyon (talk) 12:12, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Contemporary Culture

Battersea is mentioned in a number of The Chronicles of St. Mary's, a humorous fictional series by Jodi Taylor. It is featured in a short story, The Battersea Brigades, which can be found in the collection, Long Story Short, by the same author. 2601:247:C800:AF30:9C54:52E8:D711:7EE9 (talk) 11:56, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
