Photographer Battersea Park

Battersea Park is one of London's most underrated and visually diverse outdoor spaces. Its 200 acres on the south bank of the Thames contain an extraordinary range of photographic settings within easy walk of each other — the iconic Peace Pagoda rising above the riverside Embankment, the Victorian Sub Tropical Garden with its palms and exotic foliage, the reflective central Boating Lake, the Festival Gardens created for the 1951 Festival of Britain, and the magnificent Chelsea and Albert Bridges bookending its Thames riverfront.

For families, Battersea Park is superb — the park's layout means you can move easily between open meadows, wooded paths, lakeside, formal gardens and the riverside. For couples, the Peace Pagoda at golden hour against the Chelsea Bridge lights is one of London's most beautiful sunset portrait settings. For engagement sessions, the autumn plane tree avenue is a genuinely breathtaking location. I photograph across all of Battersea Park for individual, couples, family, maternity and engagement sessions, and also cover the surrounding areas of Battersea, Clapham, Wandsworth and wider South West London.
