A skimming pebble across the River Thames from Westminster, Vauxhall is emerging as a popular residential area with much to offer.
Living in Vauxhall
Vauxhall lies south-east of Vauxhall Bridge and once you are through the Vauxhall Cross road system there is a charming mix of quiet little squares, gardens and parks.
Spring Gardens lies to the north-east of Vauxhall Bridge and is all that remains of the original Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, a great attraction from the mid 17th century until the mid 19th century.
To the south of the bridge is Vauxhall Park which has tennis courts, miniature model houses and a children's playground.
Nine Elms Cold Storage, south west of Vauxhall Bridge, is now called St. George's Wharf and is a mix of retail outlets and 206 luxury flats, many of which enjoy views of the river.
Although Vauxhall has seen numerous new housing and commercial property developments, an impressive number of squares are still lined with terraces of substantial Victorian villas, typically in the network of streets to the south of the Oval Cricket Ground.
Vauxhall is a popular London home for Members of Parliament and civil servants as it is just across the river from Westminster. But, apart from its location, Vauxhall is an increasingly popular area because of the quality of its housing regeneration and its good bus, tube and train links.
Transport
Vauxhall tube station is on the Victoria Line with Stockwell and Brixton tube stations to the south and Pimlico and Victoria to the north.

Vauxhall railway station is served by South West Trains and is one stop from London Waterloo.
Heading out of London, Vauxhall railway station links to Clapham Junction, Earlsfield, Wimbledon and stations to the south west of England; and also west to Putney, Richmond and stations to Reading.

History and culture
The name 'Vauxhall' comes from the head of King John's army, Faulke de Breaute, who owned a large house in the 13th century called Faulke's Hall. Over time it became known as Foxhall and eventually Vauxhall.
In recent years, Vauxhall's riverside has undergone major redevelopment with the construction of a number of modern residential and office blocks, most notably the distinctive MI6 building at Vauxhall Cross. The exterior of the MI6 building has featured in several James Bond films such as Goldeneye, The World is not Enough and Die Another Day.
On the opposite bank of the River Thames, north-east of Vauxhall Bridge, is Tate Britain, formerly the Tate Gallery.
