October in Vauxhall 🍁

Vauxhall is bringing the autumn vibes this October, with something for everyone. Kick things off at Vauxhall City Farm’s Halloween Spooktacular, where spooky meets family fun, perfect for little ghouls and grown-ups alike.

For those craving a challenge, try Muay Thai sessions with Kru Thai Srikrotriam at the Black Prince Trust or hit reset at a Mindfulness Drop-in at the Bonnington Cafe. Fancy getting crafty? The Tufting London Workshops in Nine Elms have you covered.

Celebrate the season with the Harvest Festival at the Garden Museum, then head to The Garden around for their Rum & Reggae Halloween Special—because autumn weekends need good vibes and great rum.

History buffs, don’t miss Vauxhall’s guided walking tours: Pleasure & Pastimes uncovers the wild stories of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, while Steampunk Vauxhall brings Victorian sci-fi to life.

Foodies, make your way to Brunswick House for their new autumn menu or snap up 20% off at Bridge Command before October 13. And if you’re after some zen to round off the month, Tai Chi at HME London is where you’ll find your balance.

With all this going on, there’s no better place to be this October than Vauxhall.

Sunday 6 and Saturday 12

Weekend Guided Walks

Explore Vauxhall’s rich history and imaginative past with two captivating guided walking tours this October. The Pleasure & Pastimes Walking Tour will take you through the vibrant history of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, where 18th-century Londoners enjoyed tightrope performances, live orchestras, and fireworks while learning about figures like Jonathan Tyers and Charlie Chaplin. For a journey into the Victorian era, the Steampunk Vauxhall Walking Tour explores the industrial past and the fantastical visions of early science fiction writers, led by author David Turnbull. Both tours offer a unique glimpse into Vauxhall’s cultural legacy and modern-day vibrancy.
