Vauxhall Gardens
A History
David E. Coke and Alan Borg
From their early beginnings in the Restoration until
their final closure in Queen Victoria’s reign, Vauxhall
Gardens developed from a rural tavern and place of
assignation into a dream-world filled with visual arts
and music, and finally into a site of popular mass
entertainment. This historical exposition of the history
of Vauxhall Gardens makes a major contribution to the
study of London entertainments, art, music, sculpture,
class and ideology.
