Vauxhall, Russian railway stations and Pushkin

There are competing theories as to why the Russian word for a major railway station is вокза́л (vokzal), which coincides with the canonical 19th century transliteration of "Vauxhall". Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...

It has long been suggested that a Russian delegation visited the area to inspect the construction of the London and South Western Railway in 1840, and mistook the name for a generic title of the building type. This was further embellished into a story that the Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, visiting London in 1844, was taken to see the trains at Vauxhall and made the same mistake.

In 1838 a music and entertainment pavilion was constructed at the railway terminus. This pavilion was called the Vokzal in homage to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens in London.

It later came to mean any substantial railway station building (a different Russian word, stantsiya, is used for minor stations). | Jöns Jakob Berzelius, discoverer of protein 1838 was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...

The word "voksal" (воксал) had been known in Russian language in the meaning of "amusement park" long before the 1840s and may be found, e.g., in the poetry of Aleksandr Pushkin: На гуляньях иль в воксалах / Легким зефиром летал (To Natalie (1813): "At fêtes and in voksals, /I've been flitting like a gentle Zephyrus" [here "Zephyrus" is an allegory of a gentle, warm and pleasant wind ]) According to Vasmer, the word is first attested in the Saint Petersburg Vedomosti for 1777 in the form фоксал, which may reflect an earlier English spelling, Faukeshall.

Many Vauxhall residents live in social housing.

The Vauxhall Cross transport interchange. The solar panels supply energy for 60% of the bus station's lighting. (October 2005)

Vauxhall Cross was described as "one of the most unpleasant road junctions in South London", in Nikolaus Pevsner's architectural guide to London. Through 2002 to 2004 the Cross underwent a gradual redesign to accommodate a bus interchange linked to the Vauxhall mainline railway and tube stations, both of which are located to the south-eastern end of the cross. Work has involved design changes to traffic lanes, improved pedestrian and cycle crossings, refurbishment of walkways beneath the mainline railway viaduct, and the construction of a bus station, completed in December 2004 featuring an undulating steel-frame canopy and ribbed steel walls.

Gay Village

The Royal Vauxhall Tavern a well-known gay venue

Vauxhall is home to an ever-increasing number of gay bars and nightclubs, such as Factory, Crash, Area, Orange (Fire), Megawoof, Barcode, The Hoist, South Central and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, as well as other venues often holding special events for gay clubbers, such as Hidden, Club Colosseum and Renaissance Rooms. The aforementioned Royal Vauxhall Tavern dates back to at least the late 1800s, and was for many years a traditional English music hall and cabaret venue. In recent years the building has come under constant threat of buyout and demolition from property developers, as it stands alone on a prime piece of grassland adjacent to Vauxhall railway station. However, the pub was bought in 2004 by sympathetic owners who have announced, "business as usual". Royal Vauxhall Tavern taken by C Ford 6th March 04. ...

Vauxhall was originally the home of the more underground gay clubs with the arrival of Crash in the 1990s. Over the years, more clubs and gay businesses have followed Crash's lead by opening up in the railway arches underneath the main line out of Waterloo Station. The burgeoning club scene and the lure of the more trendy railway arches have made Vauxhall a prime destination for businesses to open up in, including London's only exclusively gay gym (Paris Gym), another branch of Chariots (gay sauna) and Barcode (sister bar venue of the same name in Soho). Another Soho based gay bar, Village Soho, has announced that it also intends to open a Vauxhall venue sometime in late 2007. The area is fast earning the nickname "Vauxhall Gay Village".
