Battersea Flower Station is an independent garden centre nestled along the railway tracks, off Battersea Park Road. With its beautiful greenhouse and vibrant outdoor plants, this magical space is a paradise for plant lovers. This post is all about Battersea Flower Station including its opening times and location.
What is Battersea Flower Station?
Battersea Flower Station is located within a charming alleyway, that stretches from Battersea Park Road to Winders Road. This intriguing, elongated space, that runs along the railway line, once served as the home for Battersea Park’s horses, and later as a storage place for market barrows from Battersea High Street. It was even once home to a flower shop in the early 1900s.
Today, the area has been transformed into an Aladdin’s cave of botanical treasures, with fresh flowers, house plants, outdoor plants, pots, seeds, compost, and herbs. The garden is beautifully decorated with stone animals, colourful flags, hand painted signs and delicate fairy lights.

Photographs
Below is a gallery of photographs that I took when I visited the garden centre. It was Christmas time when I went, which is why you can see a lot of Christmas trees and decorations. I thought that the garden centre was a magical place, whether you are interested in gardening or not. They also sell gifts and cards to the local community in Battersea.
