Vauxhall Living: A Guide to London’s Riverside Gem
Vauxhall is one of London’s most dynamic yet understated neighbourhoods. Once known primarily for its transport connections, this riverside district has quietly undergone a stunning transformation, blending history with modern urban regeneration. It’s a vibrant area that now draws in property developers, homeowners, and savvy investors looking for the perfect mix of convenience, community, and contemporary living.
At BoxNine7, we’ve had the pleasure of being part of Vauxhall’s exciting story through our recent project at Graphite Square—a stunning development that perfectly reflects the energy and elegance of the area. But before we talk about that, let us introduce you to the charm of Vauxhall and the places we think make it one of London’s best-kept secrets.
Vauxhall: A Neighbourhood on the Rise
Vauxhall has come a long way. Over the last decade, it has evolved into a flourishing hub for young professionals, families, and international investors. Sitting comfortably in Zone 1, its location—mere minutes from Westminster, South Bank, and Battersea—makes it an unbeatable spot for central living.
Architectural innovation and ambitious urban planning have transformed Vauxhall’s skyline. Developments like Graphite Square have raised the bar for modern city living, offering beautifully designed apartments with a focus on style, sustainability, and practicality.
Graphite Square: Designed for Modern Living
At BoxNine7, we were delighted to contribute to Vauxhall’s evolving story with our recent show apartment at Graphite Square—a partnership with CBRE and Australian developer Third.i Group. We were inspired to create interiors that reflect a “less is more” philosophy—a seamless blend of Australian architecture, Parisian elegance, and British craftsmanship.
From the soft curves of North Shore, Sydney, to the raw natural materials reminiscent of the Amangiri resort in Utah, we crafted a space that feels effortlessly sophisticated. Think timeless furniture, Bauwerk limewash walls, and bespoke details that maximise style, comfort, and longevity.
Our Favourite Spots in Vauxhall
One of the things we love most about Vauxhall is its mix of character and convenience. Whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat, enjoying some fresh air, or soaking up a bit of culture, there’s something here for everyone
Food & Drink
Set in a Georgian mansion filled with antiques and curiosities, Brunswick House combines brilliant food with a quirky, memorable atmosphere. It’s perfect for everything from client lunches to late-night dinners with friends.
Just a short walk away, this riverside Italian spot serves fresh, seasonal dishes alongside incredible views. Perfect for sunny afternoons or cosy evenings by the Thames.
A small neighbourhood gem with great coffee, authentic Italian produce, and plenty of charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local secret.
Green Spaces & Riverside Walks
A slice of green in the heart of the city. Whether you’re walking the dog, enjoying a morning jog, or simply soaking up the sun, it’s a great place to slow down and unwind.
Thames Path
Nothing beats a walk along the river here.
With the Houses of Parliament in one direction and Battersea Power Station in the other, the views are always worth it.
Art & Culture
A hub for contemporary art, Gasworks showcases exciting exhibitions and supports emerging international artists. It’s a great spot to discover something new and unexpected in Vauxhall’s creative scene.
Just across the river, Tate Britain is home to an incredible collection of British art. It’s an easy way to spend an afternoon and a reminder of how close you are to London’s cultural treasures.
At BoxNine7, we love getting to know the areas we work in, and Vauxhall is no exception. From the food and culture to the vibrant riverside walks, it’s a neighbourhood that feels both exciting and liveable—a place you want to come home to.
