Vauxhall, London, occupies a lively stretch of the Thames's south bank, just south of Lambeth, reached from Millbank and Pimlico by way of the Vauxhall Bridge. Long a district of wharves, workshops, and river traffic, it has grown into a mixed quarter of embankment walks, historic lanes, and notable landmarks — from the Albert Embankment and St Peter's Church to the fabulous Royal Vauxhall Tavern and the imposing MI6 headquarters. Its streets carry the steady pulse of South London, where the river bends and the city's older thoroughfares converge. - AsNotedIn
