Lavender garden in Vauxhall Park
Lavender garden in Vauxhall Park
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.
