Transformation

More than 42 projects are changing the face of this riverside district. The old industrial sites in Battersea and Nine Elms are in the process of being completely transformed, opening up new routes and the riverside walk with a more pedestrian-friendly environment. There are new public squares, parks and footpaths being created alongside major improvements to local infrastructure.

New Northern Line Extension to Battersea and Nine Elms

River, parks and gardens

Nine Elms is becoming a green and walkable district with plenty of public space and outdoor areas. A new section of Thames River Path will open up new opportunities to walk along the riverfront with riverside shops, cafes, restaurants, art spaces, parks and public squares. It will complement the new linear Nine Elms Park that is opening in stages through the centre of the district, creating a beautiful green walking route between Battersea Power Station and Vauxhall Cross.
