Vauxhall and Oval suit families well, particularly those who value access to green space and good schools without paying central London prices.
Kennington Park provides a well equipped and well used local park, and
Brockwell Park is easily reachable for those who want more open space. The Oval and Kennington in particular offer a quieter, more residential atmosphere than Vauxhall itself, with Victorian terraces and garden flats providing the kind of space and character that families tend to prioritise.
