Charles Wheatstone - Pall Mall, London, and became a teacher of the flute. He used to say, with not a little pride, that he had been engaged in assisting at the musical education of the Princess Charlotte. Charles, the second son, went to a village school, near Gloucester, and afterwards to several institutions in London. One of them was in Kennington, and kept by a Mrs. Castlemaine, who was astonished at his rapid progress. From another he ran away, but was captured at Windsor, not far from the theatre of his practical telegraph.

When he was about fourteen years old he was apprenticed to his uncle and namesake, a maker.

Notorious ex-MP and criminal Lord Jeffrey Archer is perhaps Vauxhall's most famous resident, living in a large apartment on the river. The impact of this new house-building - and the rise in house prices - is creating a dramatic change in Vauxhall's make-up.
