Vauxhall is new residential towers built around a working railway viaduct and a bus interchange. The arches beneath the viaduct house bars, gyms and food units, and they are effectively one continuous structure for a rodent. The towers above are modern and well sealed, which concentrates activity at ground and basement level.
