Where the name comes from

Named after Battersea Power Station; TfL confirmed the name in December 2015. The district of Battersea appears in the Domesday Book as Patricesy, a manor held by Westminster Abbey.

Worth knowing: It is the only Underground station with the word "station" in its official name.
