Vauxhall’s green agenda takes centre stage this month with Big Vauxhall Tree Week — a programme of walks, talks, screenings and community conversations focused on the role of trees in urban life. This isn’t just about planting, it’s about long-term thinking, shared responsibility and local voices shaping greener streets for the future.

Events range from guided walks and expert panels to creative workshops and film screenings, all designed to bring people together around one simple idea: greener neighbourhoods are better neighbourhoods. It’s also a chance to see how much progress has been made in recent years, with more planting, better public spaces and a stronger connection between community and environment.

For residents, workers and visitors alike, it’s an open invitation to get involved — whether that’s learning something new, meeting like-minded people, or simply spending more time outdoors.

Big flavours, no shortcuts. POTUS continues to bring classic American comfort food to Vauxhall, with stacked burgers, loaded sides, and a menu full of indulgence. Whether it’s a casual dinner, a post-work bite or a weekend treat, this is about bold, satisfying food done right.

The atmosphere matches the menu — relaxed, sociable and great for groups. As Vauxhall’s food scene keeps growing, POTUS holds its own as a go-to for something reliably American.

Just beyond Vauxhall, DanDan Battersea is a new arrival worth knowing about. Bringing bold, contemporary Asian flavours to the area, it adds another layer to the wider neighbourhood’s food scene.

The menu leans into rich broths, punchy spices and comforting dishes designed for sharing, making it ideal for everything from quick dinners to longer catch-ups. Its arrival reflects the growing pull of this part of London as a destination for good dining.

Wellness continues to grow in Vauxhall, and The Respark Clinic is part of that shift. Focused on recovery, rejuvenation and performance, it offers services designed to support both physical and mental well-being.

From one-off treatments to tailored programmes, the clinic adds a more specialist layer to the area’s health offering, complementing the gyms, studios, and community-led fitness already established locally. It’s another sign of Vauxhall evolving into a place where wellbeing is built into everyday life.

Football, but make it Vauxhall. The Garden transforms match days into full-on events, with big screens, crowd energy and a setting designed for long afternoons that turn into lively evenings.

Whether you’re following every match or just showing up for the atmosphere, it’s an easy win — combining sport with food, drinks and a proper sense of occasion.

Clean lines, good coffee, no fuss. Ōsōji Coffee arrives in Vauxhall with a focus on quality and simplicity, offering a calm, considered space in the middle of a busy neighbourhood.

It’s the kind of place that quickly becomes part of your routine: morning coffees, mid-day pick up or quiet catch-ups. As Vauxhall’s independent café scene continues to grow, Ōsōji adds a fresh option to the mix.

A Vauxhall staple, Tamesis Dock keeps things fresh with a simple but solid update — they’ve added dosa to the menu.

Alongside their usual pizzas, drinks and unbeatable riverside views, you can now try South Indian favourites like dosa and vada. It’s an easy addition that gives regulars something new to go for.

Same laid-back atmosphere, just with a few more options on the table.

A moment to pause. Oasis Nursery has long been part of Vauxhall’s quieter, greener side. As it prepares to close, there’s a final opportunity to take a piece of it home.

Plants, pots and garden pieces are all up for grabs, making this both a sale and a send-off. Find out more about the nursery and its founder, Andy, here. 

For those looking for something more thought-provoking, Gasworks presents Bardo Loops, an immersive exhibition by Gabriel Abrantes that blends film, narrative and installation.

Exploring themes of transition, identity and storytelling, the exhibition invites visitors into a layered, often surreal world. It’s a strong example of the kind of contemporary art programming that continues to position Vauxhall as a cultural destination.

Rounding things off, Nude Beauty brings a fresh addition to Vauxhall’s growing beauty and self-care scene. Focused on treatments that prioritise natural results and client experience, it’s part of a wider shift towards more considered, accessible beauty services in the area.
