Vauxhall Street Food Garden

The name of this weekday street food market is really pushing the definition of the word 'garden', but there's no denying it's as pleasant a lunch spot as you'll find within a minute of the hurtling traffic on Vauxhall's notorious tangle of A-roads. Tucked away in the long outside courtyard behind late-night club Lightbox is a row of around eight street food stands, accompanied by shaded benches, covered seating areas and a couple of bars serving everything from cans of Fanta to glasses of Champagne. The food line-up changes every few weeks and they reskin it slightly for the different seasons, but the quality of stalls on our visit suggested it's more the kind of place you'd visit for a working lunch than a special treat. Nonetheless, Vauxhall's office workers will no doubt be pleased to have an affordable alfresco lunch option.
