Layout
In 2004, 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.
The bus station was designed by Arup Associates. It incorporates two cantilevered arms that contain 167 solar panels, which provide a third of the bus station's electricity.
The nine stands are served by Transport for London contracted operators Abellio London, Arriva London, London Central and London General.
Connections
Directly south next to the bus station is Vauxhall station for London Underground Victoria line and National Rail South West Trains.
Under threat of demolition
In 2013, Lambeth Council and Transport for London announced plans to demolish the bus station to build a new High Street, as part of Vauxhall's regeneration plans. The Vauxhall Society is campaigning against the demolition and has set up a petition.
Security
There have been issues with people taking photographs of the bus station as it may be viewed as a security risk.
