Victoria Line - is a line of the London Underground, coloured light blue on the Tube map. It is a deep-level "tube" line which runs from the south-west to the north-east of London. It was built in the 1960s, to relieve congestion on other lines, in particular the Piccadilly Line. The Victoria line was designed to maximize the possible interchanges, yet keep a large distance between stations for trains to build up speed. Many stations on the route were rearranged for so-called "cross-platform interchange": each Victoria Line platform was placed adjacent to and parallel with that of the equivalent direction track of the other line, thus making them essentially two faces of a single platform (though they were in different tunnels). This allows quick transfer between lines at stations. For example, at Oxford Circus,.

Vauxhall - and 19th century property also survives: most famously Bonnington Square, a community which emerged from the 1970s/ 1980s squat scene in London, and remains mostly housing co-operativesa today. The local MP for Vauxhall is Kate Hoey (Labour) - the area has traditionally been very left wing. The late 1990s/early 2000s explosion in London property prices has led to a boom in riverside developments and property re-developments. Notorious ex-MP and criminal Lord Jeffrey Archer is perhaps Vauxhall's most famous resident, living in a large apartment on the river.
