Victoria Guide

Strictly speaking, Victoria is not itself a region of London, although it is generally referred to as the area surrounding Victoria Train and Bus Station, which is part of the City of Westminster. As a general rule, the area includes Victoria Street, parts of Buckingham Palace Road and Grosvenor Gardens.

Victoria is particularly popular with visitors as it is extremely convenient for those arriving by train or bus. As a result of its central location, many of the old town houses have now been converted into bed and breakfast hotels of varying quality. There are still a few large town houses in the area, but these are now slowly diminishing and making way for commercial premises and social housing.
