This is all that remains of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, a favourite entertainment venue (1660 – 1859) where you could see and be seen on summer evenings, attending balls or listening to music .

Nice for a spot of lunch overlooking the adjacent City Farm

The Vauxhall pleasure gardens is home to many events in Vauxhall throughout the year. Whether it is a the RVT's gay sports day in the Summer, or a mini Winter Wonderland over Xmas.

Now only a very vague memory of the entertaining place this used to be but still a pleasant green space

A quiet space with birds singing in the middle of Vauxhall. A place to go when you want to think!
