"Meet Me in Battersea Park"
The Park was featured in Petula Clark's 1954 single "Meet Me In Battersea Park". The song was co-authored by Clark's father, Leslie, and her accompanist, Joe "Mr Piano" Henderson and also David Valentine (the pen name of David Lavender). It was also the title of a 2001 boxset focusing on this early part of Petula's career.
The park was also featured in the 1960s films The Wrong Arm of the Law and The Day the Earth Caught Fire, and in a 1991 episode of Mr. Bean, entitled "Mr. Bean Goes to Town".
