Vauxhall Park in November 2008

Vauxhall Park is a Green Flag Award-winning municipal park in Vauxhall, South London, run by Lambeth Council.[1] It occupies an 8.5-acre (3.4 ha) site,[2] and was created at a cost of around £45,000,[3] 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.[2][4] and the houses of Lawn Terrace demolished accordingly. The new park was formally opened in 1890 by the Prince of Wales.[5][6]
