Urgent warning for drivers as posh town loved by Premier League stars is ‘taken over’ by ‘nuisance’ car meet

RESIDENTS living in the UK's 'poshest' place rub shoulders with celebrities and royals - while the local corner shop sells wine for over £4,000.

On average, flats around Battersea Power Station, in South West London, cost a whopping £1.2million - but those that can afford it may get a view of TV adventurer Bear Grylls doing pull ups on the roof.

The Wild Weekends star reportedly knocked three properties into one to build a staggering £20 million mega-apartment.

And locals boast of spotting other famous faces - including singer Sting - every day following a £9 billion transformation of the area.

Power station worker Kasea told the Sun she works for a number of the world's richest - but was remaining otherwise tight-lipped.

She said: "I can't tell you who I work for but it's someone pretty famous but there are a lot of famous people who live here, especially in the power station.

"I even see one of them every single day. I also see Bear Grylls, and Sting.

"I'm lucky to work around people who are really from the first pages, even the Queen's family as well."

Kasea described spotting Grylls, 50 - who lives with wife Knight and their three kids - getting sweaty above his luxury abode.

She said: "Yesterday he was doing pull ups on the roof, which I could see really clearly."

Meanwhile, the pull of the area means even those who have since moved away keep coming back.

Taking full advantage of the wealthy clientele is The Battersea General Store, with MD Raj Bathia claiming he has even served world leaders.

The 46-year-old's pride and joy is his curated wine selection, which brought a glitter to his eyes when asked about it.

And why not - some of it's priced up at £4,250 a bottle.

Going into his expert spiel, Raj explained: "You've got to swirl it. Let it open, it’s been in a bottle. It’s compressed, it’s been in there tight.

"Give it a chance to breathe at least. Literally, let it breathe. Then you swirl it, you enjoy it. Smell it. Give anything a bit of attention and you’ll start to see it in a beautiful way."

He went on to explain he sees famous people "on a daily basis because a lot live here".

"And then you have a lot that come and visit us specially," he continued.
