Moving to London next to Battersea Park soon - any running club there? Contact details?

During the summer Battersea Park has probably more races than almost anywhere else in the UK.
Unless the Park Authorities finally get their way, there is a weekly summer Monday evening 2 mile race, various 10ks plus a marathon put on by Run & Become shop, if a Vet there are 5 or 6 open races organised by Vets AC, Nike put on Sunday morning breakfast runs, there is a 5k race for life plus the Corporate challenge. Possibly more that I cant recall at the moment.
The bad news is that as far as I can tell only Belgrave have a base there,at the running track, but they tend to be an elite club.

The Serpentine Running club also train at the track in the park on Thursday evenings.

The summer evening races are great fun, I do hope they continue. The same people also put on a 10K, 1/2 marathon and marathon on either a Saturday or Sunday morning.

The park is an excellent place to run in as its almost traffic free and flat. So it is surprising that there is not a club based there or in the area when you considering the number of runners that can be seen around there and nearby Clapham Common.
