I sorry, do you mean Crown wharf? because i know it's most likely not called crown "Whart". If it is called so, i don't think its a pleasing name for a new development.

It's part of the development of the brownfield site that surrounds it.

battersea is an innner london urban area, bordered by the suburban areas of wandsworth to the south west. Industry has declined to be replaced as a white collar office work destination, but it still has several imporant industrial centres including London's main fruit and vegetable market.
Gentrification was first identified and named in Battersea, but 'immigration' is not from Chelsea. Many people move to Battersea from the English suburbs so that they can live as close to Chelsea as they can afford. Between 5 and 10% of the population is now French, there have also been waves of immigrants from West Africa (principally Ghana), East Africa (Ethiopians, Somalians and Kenyans) and emigration of previously ethnic waves (Irish, Maltese, Italian, Spanish, Portugeese, Afro-Carib and Cockney).
There was previously a more even spread of income groups in the borough, this has been replaced by an increasingly bipolar system of rich and poor. The previously good social services of Battersea Brough Council including adult education centres, labour exchanges, student accomodation, discount office working facilities and local schools have all been stripped out to pay for our suburban neighbours in the borough of wandsworth.
