FROM LAMP
LIT STAGES
The original site of Graphite Square was the birthplace of live outdoor entertainment as we know it. It was used for music, dancing, fireworks, operas, masquerades and illuminations. All were lit by over 1,000 glass lamps hung from the trees.
TO INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION
The Vauxhall Ironworks Company built its first car in 1903, badged with Falkes de Bréauté’s heraldic griffin; a plaque at Sainsbury’s petrol station on Wandsworth Road marks the site of the factory today. The company relocated to Luton in 1905 and became Vauxhall Motors two years later.
NOW A PLACE
TO CALL HOME
With around 7,000 new homes likely to be completed over the next five years, the population of Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea is forecast to increase by more than 10,000 over the next five years. This increase of around 30% will mean around 35,000 people residing in this fast-evolving neighbourhood.
VISION FOR VAUXHALL
This neighbourhood is making huge strides forward. Nine Elms will very soon take on the mantle of a vibrant and exciting locale as the plethora of building works there is finally completed. The vibrancy of this revitalised area will only help push both residential values and rents notably higher in the coming years as this area gradually comes of age. This neighbourhood can now indisputably be called a growing community in its own right.
