Just a few stops away from Victoria, St James Park and Green Park, Vauxhall is one of a growing number of convenient and pleasant areas to the south of the Thames.

The Brit Oval cricket ground, the quaint Vauxhall City Farm, St. Peter's Church and the Archbishop of Canterbury's residence at Lambeth Palace. The headquarters of MI6 are also found by Vauxhall Bridge.

It is where the motoring company of the same name was originally set up.

Over the last few years, Vauxhall has developed into a thriving gay scene, which has become so popular with clubbers that Vauxhall is now seen as a viable alternative to Soho, earning it the nickname 'Voho'.
