Vauxhall Park was opened in 1890 by the Prince of Wales on land that had been bought for property speculation but instead was sold to the Metropolitan Board of Works after public action had sought its preservation. It was one of the first parks to be opened by the newly-formed London County Council. A number of houses originally stood on the site of the park. A prime mover was Octavia Hill, one of the founders of the National Trust. The lavender garden has been laid out on the site of an old bowling green.

The lavender was planted in 2007 with the support off Vauxhall Motors to celebrate their centenary. The houses are in Fentiman Road

This gated drive leads to two houses which overlook Vauxhall Park

Taken at the junction of Fentiman Road. In the foreground are Lambeth Council flats. The 3 storey 19th century houses to the rear of the shot are much more likely to be owner occupied, although not necessarily by one household as flat conversions are common here.

Taken at the junction of Fentiman Road. The cycle logo in the bottom left corner denotes a London Cycle Route. The speed limit sign in centre shot suggests that this side of the sign is a 20mph zone.

Taken at the junction of Meadow Road. This area has become very "gentrified" over the last 25 years or so.
