Vauxhall is a district of South (London, England). Until 1889, when the County of London was created, it was part of Surrey. In the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries, it was a mixed industrial and residential area with predominantly manual workers' homes. In the 1990s, it became home to a number of underground gay clubs, such as Crash, which opened up in the railway arches underneath Waterloo station. It is still home to many gay bars and nightclubs.
