The 1745 edition of Rocque’s map depicts Vauxhall Walk, also known as Lowner’s Lane, as a rural lane with hedges and fields on both sides. It extended from Lambeth Butts, which is now known as Black Prince Road, to Vauxhall Gardens.
In 1768, the Duchy of Cornwall granted a building lease of land on the western side of Vauxhall Walk to William Pace. As a result, 28 houses were constructed in the area. This marked the beginning of the transformation of the once rural lane into a more urban and residential environment.
Over time, further development took place in the area, and Vauxhall Walk became more densely populated with residential buildings and other structures.
The south end became part of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Part of the south leg was renamed New Spring Gardens Walk.
