Vauxhall was a part of Surrey until 1889, and changed with the establishment of the County of London. Named after the historic manor of Fox Hall, it gained fame for the very popular Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. The area has several green spaces, even in today’s London, including Vauxhall Park, which has tennis courts and a charming model village. Meanwhile, the Pleasure Gardens are still a thing, and host various cultural and community events regularly. Despite its urban setting, Vauxhall retains a touch of charm with the small Vauxhall City Farm, where visitors can say hello to horses, alpacas, and sheep. The area is also well known as one of London's vibrant gay hotspots, and continues to thrive as a lively hub for clubbing and late night parties. Explore Vauxhall’s rich history, soak in its cultural offerings, and enjoy the busy energy of this dynamic London neighbourhood.
