Vauxhall is a district of South London on the south bank of the Thames. It is connected with Pimlico by Vauxhall Bridge which crosses the Thames between Grosvenor Railway Bridge (upstream) and Lambeth Bridge (downstream). Vauxhall was the site of gardens which were first mentioned in the 17th century. In the 18th century they were described as "pleasure gardens", a venue for entertainment and music.
Incidentally, by a series of remarkable connections, Vauxhall has given rise to the Russian word for a railway station. First, the name was applied to some pleasure gardens in St Petersburg modelled on those at Vauxhall in London. Russia's first railway was built in 1837 connecting St. Petersburg with Pavlovsk. The terminus was a pavilion in these pleasure gardens and was named Vokzal. The word was then adopted for all other railway stations.
Vauxhall Park forms part of a cluster of streets in the Laganvale area of Stranmillis named after London suburbs, namely Penge Gardens, Willesden Park, Belvedere Park, Cricklewood Park, Marylebone Park, Knightsbridge Park and Richmond Park.
"Adverting to minutes of last meeting the committee considered the question of naming of new streets. …The committee also approved of the application of the Lagan Vale Estate Brick and Terra Cotta Works Limited for the naming of two new streets at Stranmillis, Vauxhall Park and Cricklewood Park, respectively”. (3rd December 1946).
