Vauxhall Park
London Borough of Lambeth, United Kingdom · built 1890
Vauxhall Park is a Green Flag Award-winning municipal park in Vauxhall, South London, run by Lambeth Council. It occupies an 8.5-acre (3.4 ha) site, and was created at a cost of around £45,000, following a public campaign led by the suffragist Millicent Fawcett, the social reformer Octavia Hill and members of the Kyrle Society. The land was purchased from a local developer under the Vauxhall Park Act 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. clxxviii) and the houses of Lawn Terrace demolished accordingly. The new park was formally opened in 1890 by the Prince of Wales.
