החל מ[[שנות ה-90 של המאה ה-20]] הפך איזור ווקסהול למרכז בילויים עבור הקהילה ה[[הומוסקסואליות|הומוסקסואלית]] של לונדון. באיזור נפתחו מועדונים גאים רבים (בייחוד מתחת לקשתות מסילות הברזל המובילות לתחנת ווטרלו). הצלחתם של אלה הביאו לכינוי הניתן לאיזור - "ווהו" על משקל איזור ה[[סוהו]] (המשמש אף הוא מרכז לקהילה ההומוסקסאולית).

Vauxhall is home to an ever-increasing number of gay bars and nightclubs, such as Area, Barcode, Chariots, Crash, The Eagle, Factory, Fire, The Hoist, and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, as well as other venues often holding special events for gay clubbers, such as Club Colosseum, Hidden and Renaissance Rooms. The aforementioned Royal Vauxhall Tavern dates back to at least the late 1800s, and was for many years a traditional English music hall and cabaret venue. In recent years the building has come under constant threat of buyout and demolition from property developers, as it stands alone on a prime piece of grassland adjacent to Vauxhall railway station. However, the pub was bought in 2004 by sympathetic owners who have announced, "business as usual".
Vauxhall was originally the home of the more underground gay clubs with the arrival of Crash in the 1990s. Over the years, more clubs and gay businesses have followed Crash's lead by opening up in the railway arches underneath the main line out of [[Waterloo station|Waterloo Station]]. One of the most notable venues to open in the area is Fire Night Club which is located on Parry Street and currently occupies 6 of the arches aforementioned. Indeed Fire was the scene of a Drugs Raid by the [[Metropolitan Police Service]] on 28th April 2007 where 9 people were arrested, in which the tactics that they used (namely photographing all the persons leaving the venue) were strongly criticised by the Gay Press at the time. The burgeoning club scene and the lure of the more trendy railway arches have made Vauxhall a prime destination for businesses to open up in, including London's only exclusively gay gym, Paris Gym, another branch of Chariots gay sauna, Barcode (sister bar venue of the same name in [[Soho#Bohemian_Soho|Soho]]) and the Sunday Morning Afterhours venue, Beyond hosted at 'Area' club. The area is fast earning the nickname "Vauxhall [[Gay village|Gay Village]]".
Before Vauxhall earned its reputation as a gay village, it was regarded among the underground gay club scene as the place to go to avoid the more commercial nights elsewhere in central London. However, the market has become more and more lucrative with the arrival of more venues and more nights, and Vauxhall has been criticised as becoming increasingly commercial, diluting its once underground appeal. But the demise of other club venues in London, such as [[Turnmills]], the [[London Astoria|Astoria]] and [[The Fridge]], have led to the gay club scene to become more centralised in Vauxhall, turning it into an alternative destination from Soho for gay people to socialise. Vauxhall has also become colloquially known as "Voho" (a consolidation of the names Vauxhall and Soho) within the gay community, due to the emergence of Vauxhall as a gay village after Soho.
Entertainment in the Vauxhall area is not exclusively aimed at gay clientèle; with the oldest strip pub in London (the Queen Anne) sitting at Vauxhall Walk.
