Vauxhall Bus Station serves the area of Vauxhall in the London Borough of Lambeth, England. The station is owned and maintained by Transport for London and is the second busiest in London.[1]
The bus station, which is adjacent to the Vauxhall railway and tube stations, is situated on Bondway between Wandsworth Road, Kennington Road and Parry Street.
New bus station
Bus stops were moved from outlying roads (South Lambeth Road, Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall Bridge) to a central point at the Vauxhall Cross road junction to create an improved transport interchange.[2]
The bus station was designed by Arup.[3] It incorporates two cantilvered arms that contain 167 solar panels, which provide a third of the bus station's electricity.
There are nine stands at the bus station whose main operators are Arriva London, Go-Ahead London and Abellio London.
Security
There have been issues with people taking photographs of the bus station as it may be viewed as a security risk.[4]
