Metropolitan Borough of Battersea
Former British administrative division
About
Battersea was a civil parish and metropolitan borough in the County of London, England. In 1965, the borough was abolished and its area combined with parts of the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth to form the London Borough of Wandsworth. The borough was administered from Battersea Town Hall on Lavender Hill. That building is now Battersea Arts Centre. The local authority was Battersea Vestry until 1900 and then Battersea Borough Council until 1965.
