The Festival Gardens were built in Battersea Park in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain Exhibition. Many of the features, including an amusement park and roller coaster, were subsequently removed. In recent years this part of the park has been refurbished. Within this picture you can see the central fountains and, to the north, the Grand Vista area. Nearby here is a small stall offering refreshments.
