Battersea Park is one of London’s great dog parks, and the dogs round here know it. Walk dogs in Battersea with Seekies, a new on-demand dog walking app in London: one household at a time, on the walks you choose, paid every week.
Your patch
Battersea has the river, Battersea Park and the new blocks at Nine Elms, plus the Victorian streets running up to Clapham Common, so a Battersea walker gets a bit of everything.
Battersea Park Road and Prince of Wales Drive, the Shaftesbury Estate and Lavender Hill, the roads off Northcote Road, and the Nine Elms towers by the Power Station.
A Battersea morning: a 30-minute walk round Battersea Park lake with a cavapoo from Prince of Wales Drive, a 20-minute Thames Path walk from a Nine Elms flat, and an hour from Northcote Road onto the Common with a lurcher.
Battersea Power Station on the Northern line, Battersea Park, Queenstown Road and Clapham Junction stations, and the 44, 137, 344 and 345 buses.
Walkers here usually start from SW11, SW8, SW4, SW18 and SW12. You set your own starting postcode and how far you will travel when you apply, and you only see walks inside that.
