===Social housing estates===

Battersea has a long and varied history of social housing, and the completion of the [[Shaftesbury Park Estate]] in 1877 was one of the earliest in London or the UK. Additionally, the development of the [[Latchmere Estate]] in 1903 was notable both for [[John Burns]]' involvement and for being the first estate directly built by a council's own workforce and therefore the first true "council estate". Indeed, both of these earlier estates have since been recognised as [[conservation area (United Kingdom)|conservation area]]s due to their historical and architectural significance and are protected from redevelopment.<ref>{{cite web |title=Latchmere Estate Conservation Area |url=https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/media/1604/latchmereplusappraisalplusms.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606113209/https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/media/1604/latchmereplusappraisalplusms.pdf |archive-date=2020-06-06 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Shaftsebury Park Estate Conservation Area |url=https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/permitted-development-and-article-4-directions/article-4-directions/shaftesbury-park-estate-conservation-area/}}</ref>

Battersea also has a large area of mid-20th century public housing estates, almost all located north of the main railway lines and spanning from [[Fairfield (Wandsworth ward)|Fairfield]] in the west to Queenstown in the east.<ref>[http://www.wandsworth-pct.nhs.uk/pdf/public%20health/reports/locality%20Merged%20profiles.pdf Battersea Profile] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080229080650/http://www.wandsworth-pct.nhs.uk/pdf/public%20health/reports/locality%20Merged%20profiles.pdf |date=29 February 2008}}, from Wandsworth Primary Care Trust, citing Census 2001</ref>

There are four particularly large estates. The [[Winstanley Estate]], perhaps being the most renowned of them all, is known as being the birthplace to the garage collective [[So Solid Crew]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-housing-estate-where-so-solid-crew-formed-set-for-demolition-9141056.html|title=London housing estate where So Solid Crew formed set for demolition|author=Mark Blunden|date=20 February 2014|work=London Evening Standard}}</ref> Winstanley is close to Clapham Junction railway station in the northern perimeter of Battersea, and is currently being considered for comprehensive redevelopment as one of the London Mayor's new Housing Zones.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.london.gov.uk/media/mayor-press-releases/2015/02/mayor-names-londons-first-housing-zones|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151025003341/https://www.london.gov.uk/media/mayor-press-releases/2015/02/mayor-names-londons-first-housing-zones|title=Mayor names London's first Housing Zones – Clapham Junction to Battersea Riverside zone|archive-date=25 October 2015}}</ref> Further north towards Chelsea is the [[Surrey Lane Estate]], and on Battersea Park Road is the Doddington and Rollo Estate. East, toward Vauxhall, is the [[Patmore Estate]] which is in close proximity to the Battersea Power Station.

Other smaller estates include: York Road (see [[Winstanley Estate]]), Ashley Crescent, Badric Court, Carey Gardens, Chatham Road, Ethelburga, Falcon Road, Gideon Road, Honeywell Road, Kambala, Peabody, Robertson Street, Savona, Somerset, Wilditch and Wynter Street.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}
