Cricket, cocktails and riverside pints: your guide to Vauxhall during cricket season.

Vauxhall and the KIA Oval aren’t just the home of cricket in South London — they’re surrounded by some of the city’s best places to eat, drink and keep the match-day buzz alive long after the final wicket.

On Vauxhall Walk, The Black Dog serves cocktails, wine, pints and spritzes — the perfect post-match refresher. Market Place Vauxhall houses 12 street food traders and a lively bar, while the Duchy Arms dishes up BBQ-inspired summer menus in a huge beer garden. 

The Jolly Gardeners , built in 1880 with real Victorian charm, is the perfect pitstop for a pint steeped in history. Catch all the action at The Pilgrim Pub. Or stay riverside with Tamesis Dock and Battersea Barge.

Round it out at Mother Kelly’s (33 taps and giant New York-style pizzas), or catch replays on huge screens at The King’s Arms and Metropolis Vauxhall.

This summer, discover why Vauxhall is South London’s ultimate cricket hangout – on and off the pitch.
