Live to shop? Just over the river is the designer-shopping heaven that is Chelsea and Knightsbridge. But Battersea and its neighbourhood has its shopping treasures too. Gourmets will go to Northcote Road for the market and specialist food shops. For more everyday needs, there’s a Somerfield and a Sainsburys on Battersea Park Road. Plus, over in Wandsworth, the huge new Southside Centre: a high class selection of shops and restaurants plus a cinema and fitness centre.
