| Description | This is the constituency of outspoken Labour former sports' minister, pro-hunting MP and sometime government rebel, Kate Hoey who first won the seat in a by-election in 1989. Situated at the north end of the London borough of Lambeth, Vauxhall encompasses a number of distinct neighbourhoods from the river Thames southwards. It includes the London Eye, the South Bank cultural attractions of the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall and the Old Vic, the Oval cricket ground, Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Palace, St Thomas' Hospital and Waterloo Station, with its continental Eurostar terminal. This is the fifth most densely populated constituency in the country with a young age profile - 76% under 45. Unemployment is high. Those in employment tend to be fairly highly qualified young professionals and managers commuting into central London and living in flats (more than 81%). There are some fine Georgian houses around Kennington and Vauxhall and these have become home to many politicians. There are, however, some run-down areas, more notably to the south of the seat around the estates of Stockwell and the northern edges of Clapham and Brixton. Ferndale ward in north west Brixton is where John Major won his first local election in 1968, but these areas are showing a tendency to vote Lib Dem for the council. The other noteworthy fact about Vauxhall is that, despite its rising electorate, it scored the 15th worst turn-out in 2001 - the second lowest in London.
