passing bus). The journey on the 344 from Vauxhall will take less than
15 minutes off-peak, and the service runs frequently.

Battersea really isn't that hard to get to!

It's the haven of the cheap office crowd. Courier companies and
Telesales, and all because it's transport blighted. Put a decent tube
link in and the area would blossom. In the ends it took me 2 hours to
get from Palmers Green to Battersea Bridge. I may have been unlucky,
but no one is going to do that twice a day out of choice.

Crikey ... the average house price in Battersea is already over 750,000
UKP - just think would a tube would do for the estate agents!

Give over ! There are boarded up shops & buildings just on the South
Side of Battersea Bridge.

Mind you Lord Archer lives in a tower block in SE11 which must be worth
several million, but I'm darned if I'd want to live in SE11 :-)

No kidding. And that's the average for all properties. The average for
detached houses is now over one million. See sites such as:

Yes, but Battersea is a good deal more than just Battersea Bridge Road -
the new riverside properties are very expensive, as are the Victorian
houses inhabited by the likes of Ian Hislop, Nick Ross, Jack Dee and
others.

A good deal more than that, I suspect. There's a small two-bedroom flat
in the same block currently on the market for 3.5 million if you are
interested ...

but I'm darned if I'd want to live in SE11 :-)

Ah, perhaps not then.

And live in the same block as Archer & Peter Stringfellow !!

I'd expect a reduction in my council tax :-)

Well Battersea does have the cheapest council tax in the entire country...

I'm away from my maps, but I think they border each other. SE11 would
be based on Kennington I think, alphabetically (SE9 Eltham, SE10
Greenwich, SE11 Kennington, SE12 Lee, SE13 Lewisham ...)

SE11 is Kennington, yes, but SW8 (Stockwell) is in between that and Battersea.

Edward was referring to Vauxhall, which comes under SE11 (Kennington
postal area). It is adjacent to SW11 (which is Battersea).

The way that London postal district numbers developed has a strange
logic, largely based on the location of head sorting offices (and the
whims of Anthony Trollope).
