Walk with Old Maps round the neighbourhood once dominated by Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. We trace where they were along with the glass factory, workhouse and burial ground. As we walk through what at first appears a bleak landscape we find reminders of the way the site was developed once the gardens closed. Along the way we encounter Jonathan Tyers, George Frideric Handel and the visionary Reverend Robert Gregory. Walk ends at the remarkable Tea House Theatre
