This rigid exclusiveness has not militated against the prosperity of the club. Despite a high entrance fee and a considerable annual subscription, candidates have to wait an av- erage of three years for election to its limited circle of six hundred. Which goes to show that the old type of London club is in no danger of extinction just yet. IV PLEASURE GARDENS OF OLD LONDON 289 CHAPTER I VAUXHALL Numerous and diversified as were the out- door resorts of old London, no one of them ever enjoyed th...e patronage of the gardens at Vauxhall. Nor can any pleasure resort of the English capital boast so long a history. For nearly two centuries, that is, from about 1661 to 1859, it ministered to the amusement of the citizens. At the outset of its career it was known as New Spring Gardens, and it continued to be described as Spring Gardens in the official an- nouncements till 1786, although for many years previously the popular designation was Vaux- hall. The origin of that name is involved in obscurity, but it is supposed to have been de- rived from a family of the name of Faux who once held the manor.
