Text description provided by the architects. Charles Asprey, who financed the development, and the directors of Cabinet Gallery, Martin McGeown and Andrew Wheatley, had been looking for nearly a decade to find a permanent gallery space.  They eventually found a site in the former Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens a venue for music, dining and art established in 1729.  The site was the irregular footprint of the demolished Lord Clyde Pub, next to a former service road.  Working with friends of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and Lambeth Council Trevor Horne Architects were able to consolidate the site and enlarge the public park by incorporating the road.
