I'm just reading this Survey of London looking at the Vauxhall 
area. I found a little snippet that might interest people - at the 
time, Tom Riddle might have been wondering around Vauxhall Road 
(Kennington Lane) (sometime in the early 1940s), gasholders at the 
gasworks that were located between Vauxhall Street and Montford 
Place, were quite famous for the fact that they were adorned with 
'Phoenix devices'.

I don't think this has much real relevance - just a little tidbit 
associating the phoenix with the area.
