The clocks might’ve gone back, but Vauxhall’s turning the lights up. November brings sensory chaos, queer cabaret, sweaty workouts, feel-good volunteering, and the first twinkle of Christmas cheer. Expect a month packed with art, music, movement and mischief — ending with the big festive glow-up outside the Tube.
SENSAS London
Did you know London’s most unique multi-sensory experience is based right here in Vauxhall? Step into SENSAS, where teams of 4–15 move through sensory labs designed to test touch, taste, sound and more — all in pitch black. It’s chaotic, hilarious and weirdly profound, and every challenge completed helps raise funds for disability charities.

                    The Outsiders Arts Club
Art — but make it friendly. The Outsiders Arts Club is a quarterly event for people who love art but don’t quite know where to start. A chilled evening where emerging artists show (and sell) affordable pieces, with plenty of chat, drinks and discovery along the way. Founded by journalist and writer Marie Le Conte, the club brings a slice of London’s art world to everyone — minus the pretension. It’s about curiosity, creativity and connection, not insider jargon. Whether you’re an art newbie or a gallery regular, this is the place to find something that speaks to you (and maybe take it home).
 
                    Exploding Cinema — Animation & Experimentation

                    The Black Duke
Tucked beneath Vauxhall’s Brunswick House, The Black Duke is the new cellar bar bringing sharp modern flair to a magnificent antique residence. Step downstairs into 400-year-old, beautifully restored cellars reimagined as an intimate den for cocktails, small plates and quiet decadence.
 
                    Christmas Tree Light Switch-On
Kick off the festive season at our annual Christmas Tree Light Switch-On — a feel-good evening of lights, carols and local cheer. Wrap up warm and grab a hot chocolate from the stand outside the Tube station, then join us as Aseem Sheikh, Chair of Vauxhall One, flips the switch on our brand-new Christmas tree. Expect performances from the Boury Academy Choir and local performers, singing festive favourites and holiday classics to get everyone in the spirit.
