"In 1695, London got its first museum on Cheyne Walk, when James Salter began to display curiosities in cabinets around his barber's shop. His collection included a giant's tooth, a necklace made of Job's tears and a sandal that once belonged to Pontius Pilate's wife!"
When the weather is nice I like to take a walk up to the peace pagoda in Battersea Park - it's the calmest spot in London!

What locals say about Battersea Park
“Battersea Park is a lovely area. I live next to the park and have always loved the greenery which is so rare in London. It's just over the river from Chelsea and is well connected by bus and rail.”
A.T.
“Battersea is a beautiful, leafy suburban area - in the heart of London. Residential streets with a diverse community - great local shops and boutiques, and minutes from either Waterloo or Clapham Junction. Further, the park!!! Peaceful walks across the park, wildlife flourishing and loads to do with friends and family. It is a great place to start to live and appreciate London life!”
