Vigerslev Allé

The first part of the street runs east–west, following the south side of the main railway line through Copenhagen on its way to Toftegårds Plads, the largest square in Valby.

Its first leg followed present-day Sønder Boulevard and was then dug through Valby Hill on its way to the old village of Vigerslev.

J. C. Jacobsen established his Carlsberg Brewert on the north side of the railway when a natural spring was encountered during the excavation work for the rail line.

Vigerslev Allé was established on the south side of the railway when it was expanded into a four-track rail line following the completion of the work on Kalvebod Brygge.

It now houses Copenhagen Skatepark and StreetMekka, an indoor skateboarding venue and a centre for street culture.

The area between Kærskiftevej, Vigerslev Allé and Vigerslevvej is the site of a development of one-storey row houses from 1939.

The 10 hectare FL Schmidt site on the corner of Vigerslev Allé with Gammel Køge Landevej is under redevelopment into a new neighbourhood known as Valby Maskinfabrik.

[4] To the west of the school, on both sides of Gabersvej, is a development of building society houses known as Lyset ("The Light").

The just over 100 houses were built in the 1910s at the initiative of employees at Copenhagen's tramways to provide modern and healthy homes outside the dense inner city for the members.
