All Saints, Prince of Wales Drive, Battersea
Opposite Battersea Park, it is by David Gill in 1976-78, replacing a church of 1882-1883 on an adjacent site. Some glass, the cockerel from the top of the tower, memorials and a font cover remain from the old church. The sanctuary area can be divided from the rest of the church to form a hall that is used as a nursery during the week.
St Saviour, Battersea Park Road, Battersea
Around half way along the road, this is a small church of 1870-71 by E.C. Robins. Inside it was split in 1986 with the eastern half as a worship space and the western half as a hall and kitchen, with a horizontal division leaving an upper floor in use as a nursery. There are plans (2024) to further reorder the lower area to restore an entrance to the main road into the nave.
