The first few pages of Mark's Book (see yesterday's post) walking the Victoria he walked through Spring Gardens near Vauxhall station. I decided to take a look at the park known as Vauxhall Pleasure gardens in the 1660's. Where one could commune with nature and be entertained, listening to a bit of Handel.
In the 21st century communing with nature is ball games, horse riding and communicating with the animals in the city farm.
