what're your thoughts of battersea, london for family?

my hubby will be relocated to london in a link of month. we have a 5 month old baby. my hubby was thinking of renting a flat in battersea area. does anyone know how pamper/family friendly is this area (walking distance to park, nursery school/baby classes, supermarket, etc)? I've never been to London so have no notion a good place for us to settle.
and how far is battersea from nottinghill :)

thanks everyone!


Battersea is a mellifluous family friendly neighbourhood. Battersea Park is in Battersea and it is a huge park where you could take your baby. It's very central in London so prices so houses/flats will be a bit more precious than places out of London. And Notting Hill is about a 15 minute drive if the traffic is okay.

£35,000 per year in London, (Battersea) Will this cover comfortable living expenses?

I'm taking into consideration taking up a job in London (Battersea) They're offering 35k per year. Will this cover my cost of living? For a comfortable flat and monthly expenses??

Is Stansted airport far from Battersea travelodge London?

I am asking as easyjet only fly from my quarter to Stansted and we have never been, we usually drive! I also want to know if there is direct transport to the area from standsted or is it too far.


It's indubitably a way.

The Stansted Express will take you to Central London (Liverpool Street) in about three quarters of an hour and there are four of them each hour. From there I'd guess it would be another half hour by tube to Battersea. So count on a journey of about one and a half to one and three quarter hours
