Vauxhall
Vauxhall (/ˈvɒks(h)ɔːlˌ -əl/ ⓘ VOKS-(h)awl, -əl) is an area of South London, within the London Borough of Lambeth. Named after a medieval manor called Fox Hall, it became well known for the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.
From the Victorian period until the mid-20th century, Vauxhall was a mixed industrial and residential area, of predominantly manual workers' homes – many demolished and replaced by Lambeth Council with social housing after the Second World War – and business premises, including large railway, gas, and water works. These industries contrasted with the mostly residential neighbouring districts of Kennington and Pimlico. As in neighbouring Battersea and Nine Elms, riverside redevelopment has converted most former industrial sites into residential properties and new office space.
Vauxhall has given its name to the Vauxhall Bridge, Vauxhall parliamentary constituency and Vauxhall Motors.
Vauxhall is 2.1 km (1.3 mi) south of Charing Cross and 1.5 km (0.93 mi) southwest of the actual centre of London at Frazier Street near Lambeth North tube station. Vauxhall is adjacent to the River Thames, on the opposite side of the river to Pimlico. To the north is the district of Lambeth and to the southeast is the district of Kennington. Nine Elms, South Lambeth and Stockwell are to the south of Vauxhall.
Several roads converge at an area known as Vauxhall Cross, where Vauxhall station on the South West Main Line and the bus station are located. To the northeast of Vauxhall Cross is the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and to the southeast is the large Vauxhall Park.
Vauxhall was part of Surrey until 1889, when the County of London was created.
Vauxhall is within the London Borough of Lambeth. For the 2022 council election, the area became part of the Vauxhall ward, which elects three members of Lambeth London Borough Council.
For Westminster elections, Vauxhall is part of the Vauxhall and Camberwell Green constituency which was created in 2024 to replace the Vauxhall constituency. Florence Eshalomi has held the seat since 2019 for the Labour and Co-operative Party.
