Food scene
You're spoilt for choice in London, however these are my local favourites.
The future home for Apple's European HQ, this place is already buzzing with eateries including Megan's, The Wright Bros, No. 29 and Mother pizza, as well as Battersea General Stores, great coffee, Boom Cycle and a pier that takes you to the City via river taxi. Well worth a look and 5 minutes walk from the flat (across Nine Elms Lane).

A high ropes course - but different levels so the whole family can enjoy. Located in Battersea Park, you can also enjoy food at Pizza in the Park and the mini golf course, both situated directly below the ropes course.
