In June 2023, #VauxhAllNight celebrated the area’s LGBTQ+ communities with Pride Month events. The London Queer Mart activated one of Arch Co’s vacant arches on Goding Street with over 30 LGBTQ+ creatives and saw 500 visitors.

The Vauxhall City Farm held its first-ever Pride celebrations, with guests of all ages enjoying performer-led farm tours, live music from LGBTQ+ artists and a community barbecue. And over 1,000 revellers took over the Albert Embankment foot tunnel to close out Pride Night with the Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s DJs.

98% of guests surveyed said the events helped them feel positive about the local area, and 99% said they would come back to the area for a similar event.

Through the #VauxhAllNight programme, local businesses also achieved 19 new safety accreditations, helping them to support women, girls and LGBTQ+ communities. We also tripled the number of Women’s Night Safety Charter signatories in the area!

Vauxhall is home to a diverse range of nighttime businesses, offering something for everyone. Try cuisines from the Portuguese-speaking world in restaurants along South Lambeth Road, or travel the globe in the food outlets on Kennington Lane.

You can visit historic pubs, watch the cricket and much more at The Oval, take a dance class at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre or St Anne’s church, or work out in one of Vauxhall’s parks, climbing gym or leisure centre. 

From April to December 2023, #VauxhAllNight delivered 24 exciting night time events, from free film screenings and arts workshops to food festivals and cultural celebrations. We welcomed over 15,000 visitors to Vauxhall and engaged over 400 businesses as part of the programme.
