Vauxhall - Vauxhall Vauxhall is a town in London, England in the London Borough of Lambeth. On the banks of the River Thames, across the water from the Tate Britain art gallery, it is considered by many to be a community in flux.

She married Fulk le Breant, a mercenary soldier who was made Sherriff of Oxford and Hertford by King John, for services rendered. He was also granted the Manor of Luton, and adopted a griffin emblem as part of his coat of arms. The house they built was named Fulk's Hall, which name was gradually corrupted over time, first to Fox Hall, then Vaux Hall and.

Victoria Line - they were in different tunnels). This allows quick transfer between lines at stations. For example, at Oxford Circus, switching from a northbound Victoria line train to a northbound Bakerloo train is a matter of a 20 metre walk no matter how far along the platform you are; likewise for southbound. In some cases this was achieved simply by placing the Victoria Line tubes on either side of the existing station; in other places the Victoria Line uses one of the old platforms while the older line was diverted into a new platform. At Euston station the track layout is particular in that while northbound Victoria and Northern Line (City branch) trains run along adjacent platforms, they are going in opposite directions along them.

Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen - nearby Klampenborg, it is the oldest amusement park which has survived intact to the present day. It was first called "Tivoli & Vauxhall": "Tivoli" alluding to the Jardin de Tivoli in Paris (which in its turn had been named from Tivoli near Rome), and "Vauxhall" alluding to the Vauxhall Gardens in London. Tivoli's founder, Georg Carstensen (b. 1812 - d. 1857) obtained a five-year charter to create Tivoli by telling King Christian VIII that "when the people are amusing themselves, they do not think about politics".
