References to Vauxhall are, for 150 years, as ubiquitous as references to "Broadway" later would be. For example an old Polish word for a pleasure garden (foksal) and the name of Foksal street in Warsaw are Polonized versions of Vauxhall.

From 1729, under the management of Jonathan Tyers, property developer, impresario, patron of the arts, the gardens grew into an extraordinary business, a cradle of modern painting and architecture, and ... music有韓德爾的生時臉模;帕格尼尼畫像 .... A pioneer of mass entertainment, Tyers had to become also a pioneer of mass catering, of outdoor lighting, of advertising, and of all the logistics involved in running one of the most complex and profitable business ventures of the eighteenth century in Britain."[


Vauxhall Gardens /ˈvɒksɔːl/ is a public park in Kennington, London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames.


From 1785 to 1859, the site was a pleasure garden and one of the leading venues for public entertainment in London from the mid-17th century to the mid-19th century.
