An award winning park in Central London

Master Plan

In May 2006, with London Borough of Lambeth’s generous financial support we were able to gain assistance from a Landscape Architect, Barbara Moth Dip LA, Grad Dip Cons (AA), MLI. With her help we created a Vision and Management Plan which sets out a framework of development and a detailed programme of improvements for the next 10 years, some of which has already been implemented. The Plan was agreed following extensive consultation with a variety of local groups and stakeholders.

“Our vision is that by 2016, Vauxhall Park should be a modern urban park of the highest quality, which preserves its historic character while providing a safe peaceful and varied environment for relaxation and recreation and enhancing the wellbeing of all sections of the community.”
