Boundaries
Vauxhall is wholly within the London Borough of Lambeth. The core of the constituency - unchanged from the former Lambeth North - is delimited by the River Thames to the west and north and the boundary with Southwark to the east. In addition to the area commonly known as Vauxhall it includes the historic core of Lambeth near London Waterloo station and all of Kennington and Stockwell. Since the abolition of the Lambeth Central constituency in 1983, the constituency has also included the northern parts of Clapham and Brixton stretching as far south as Clapham Park Road, Acre Lane and Coldharbour Lane.

In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
