Vauxhall Park — Attraction in London

Vauxhall Park was opened on 7th July 1890 by Albert, Prince of Wales (read more about our history here). It is located in the London Borough of Lambeth on the South Lambeth Road (A203) at its junction with Fentiman Road (B301) and comprises about eight and a half acres of land. In 2020 we celebrated 130 years of Vauxhall Park with the completion of its first major upgrade!

The Park facilities include a playground catering for aged 12 and under, a multi use games area predominantly for basketball/netball, Parco Cafe, two tennis courts, two ping pong tables (free to use bats and balls held at Parco Cafe), the Fawcett Sensory Garden (including our brick labyrinth) , lavender field originally sponsored by Vauxhall Motors to mark their Centenary, the model village, an orchard, lavender mosaic (in the fountain basin), two fenced dog areas, a human sundial (in the lavender garden) and the Oval Montessori Nursery School.

Vauxhall Park has been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award for nine years in a row. The Green Flag Award Scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country, meaning that Vauxhall Park is one of the best of 1,452 green spaces in...

Vauxhall Park located a short distance from Vauxhall station is the quieter park in the area. It has several benefits over Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.

A dog exercise area, this is self contained and allows for dogs to bound around in a controlled manner without causing a nuisance to other park dwellers.

A children's play area, this is gated and no dogs are allowed within the space to ensure it is clean for children to play in, without mess!

A lavender garden, this is maintained by the locals and during the sunny days is incredibly busy, plenty of sitting is scattered around and the smell is wonderful.

Tennis courts for those wishing to bash a ball

And a great park cafe!!

During the summer months it can be busy, as the various green spaces become littered with bodies some sitting under the various trees, others sprawled out to keep the vitamin D levels...

A great park with seperate kids play area. 2 dog parks fenced off, has a cafe and segregated gardens and 2 tennis courts. Has recently been redeveloped with new paths and kids play area. Unfortunately seems to have the lavender garden and the Victorian model village. Which I think is a crying shame. There’s nothing wrong with regeneration but to destroy a model village, which there was nothing wrong with, well maybe could have used a lick of paint. Having the model village in the lavender garden made it feel more relaxing, used to sit in there on hot summer days and evenings the smell was absolutely amazing, sorry to see it’s gone, just to b replaced with something so mundane I can’t even remember what it is...
