Chinese Pavilion in Vauxhall Gardens, (c1878). Creator: Unknown
Chinese Pavilion in Vauxhall Gardens, (c1878). By the late 1700s there were over 200 pleasure gardens in and around London, one of which was Vauxhall Gardens, south of the Thames, which opened in 1660. They were designed to offer the illusion of being in the country whilst at the same time being close to the fashionable centre. From Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places. The Southern Suburbs, Volume VI, by Edward Walford. [Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. London, Paris & New York, c1878]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Chinese Pavilion in Vauxhall Gardens, dating back to around 1878. The pavilion stands as a testament to the popularity of pleasure gardens during the late 18th and 19th centuries in London. With over 200 such gardens scattered throughout the city, Vauxhall Gardens emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations for those seeking respite from urban life. Designed to transport visitors into a countryside oasis while remaining conveniently close to the bustling center, these pleasure gardens offered an escape from daily routines. This particular image captures the exterior of the Chinese Pavilion with its intricate architectural details and oriental charm. The photograph is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" authored by Edward Walford in approximately 1878. Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , this volume provides invaluable insight into London's rich history. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when strolling through beautifully landscaped gardens was considered a delightful pastime. The unknown creator skillfully captured both people rambling about and enjoying their leisurely walks amidst this picturesque setting. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of how Vauxhall Gardens once flourished as a hub for entertainment and relaxation - an enduring symbol of British heritage that continues to captivate our imagination today.
