Oh this sounds cool. Just as the Olympics takes over and the talk is of the opening of the London Pleasure Gardens way out east, the Foundling Museum takes us back to the start, with an exhibition examining the history of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens in the eighteenth century.
The show ties Vauxhall's history with that of the Foundling Hospital itself, and features a whole range of amazing artefacts, as well as works by the likes of Hogarth, Canaletto and Gainsborough. Pleasure in word as well as deed.
Until 09.09.12.
