Out for a drink From trendy bars to good old-fashioned pubs: the Battersea area is a rich source of venues for socialising, whatever your requirements. Several of them are very close by on Battersea Park Road, including the award winning Dusk Bar. Northcote Road has a very fashionable bar/lounge scene, and for beer connoisseurs, there are some microbrewery restaurants on Lavender Hill. Nearby Putney and Clapham, especially the vibrant High Streets, also have more than their share of places to indulge in a glass or two.
