Top ways to experience London Victoria Station
The area
Address
Neighborhood: Westminster
If you only had an afternoon to experience London on a grand scale, Westminster would be a wise place to start. The ornate Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey sit adjacent at a corner of Parliament Square, and a short stroll along The Mall leads to Buckingham Palace. Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column are just up the road as well. As captivating as the architecture is, the wonders of Mother Nature are highlights of the area too. St James's Park (arguably London's loveliest), the expansive Green Park, and pedestrian friendly tree lined paths along the river showcase the exquisite manicure provided by English gardeners. Just beyond the landmarks and the gorgeous outdoor spaces, quiet residential squares and age old local pubs offer a more subdued take on this global seat of power in the heart of London.

- Great customer serviceMy friend and I were traveling to Littlehampton on Thursday 12th October. Victoria station was really busy and quite confusing but luckily we met the nicest kindest most helpful customer help lady called NISHA. She took us to our platform and came back to make sure we were on the right train. My goodness I thought that kind of customer service didn’t exist anymore. She was an absolute credit to thr railway company. Thank you 🙏Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 14, 2023
- gfsc5Perth, AustraliaRailway stationIt's just a large train station so I'm not going to go overboard with rating stars. That said, the staff we had dealings with were excellent and very helpful. And the large display board is very good and easy to understand. Helps make travel easier.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 18, 2024
- zuvBucharest, RomaniaOKOne of London's main train stations. A successful combination of old and new, beautiful architecture, good organization. Congested, but that's normal. There is also a mall with direct access from the train station.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 27, 2024

This is a very busy station, as well as overground there are several tube lines connecting here. There is seating if you are waiting for a train but there are also plenty of places to eat. Plus a Wetherspoons Pub which does good food at a reasonable price.
If going through here just expect it to be crowded.

We’re coming to see a show in a theatre nearby in a few days, and we thought to come and check out the area as we’d never been before. The station was surprisingly big, with quite a few stores and restaurants. Think it might be more accurate to refer to it as a small mall or shopping center. It’s clean and airy, and if I lived closer I’d probably stop by the station just for the restaurants. Victoria’s a really nice area as well, with lots of thing’s to do which I wasn’t expecting! Would recommend a visit!

The iconic Victoria Station in central London I visited a couple of times to use their public facilities and to board a train toward Herne Hill to visit some friends. Very easy to purchase ticket and to board train. The staff very helpful.
The station has many shops and eateries that I bought stuff from them while waiting for my train to depart.
A convenient flower shop to buy a bouquet for my friend. Her little daughter loved it.
The train was very clean and comfortable and it was only a 10 min ride to my destination. My return trip was a breeze with regular schedule trains running during the day.
The station has plenty of benches for passengers to sit and wait, eat or chat with one another.

I dont think i have ever encountered more unpleasant staff than at Victoria station.
I was travelling alone with two big luggages struggling to move and i asked for help for directions to My platform to multiple people. 90% of them blatantly ignored me and One sent me to the absolutely opposite place. When i finally Made it close to the platform the train was about to leave and there were some staff doors right in front of me to get in and catch the train, and even though i showed them the ticket and was visibly crying they didnt let me through, Made me run with My luggages all around another area while they were laughing only to arrive in front of the doors and for the staff to whistle the train to leave. In a world where there is so much Hate i dont understand why they thrive in seeing people suffer.

Passed through here a while back and wanted to mention the very friendly little Indian guy who manages the WC facilities.
I was there very early in the morning and he was very friendly and accommodating to myself and other service users.
He put a smile on my face so early into a hectic days travel and is worth a mention all to himself.

7pm Sunday 31 October. Asked staff at information desk how I could get to eastbourne as there appeared to be no trains listed on the board. Was advised there were no trains and o had to go to Brighton and then get another train to eastbourne. I checked on line where the advise was to go to Gatwick and there would be replacement buses to Three Bridges. Much quicker and no detour to Brighton. Bad that staff working at an information desk not aware of this!

Very busy main railway station in Victoria London.
Besides the trains there are a selection of shops, cafes and bars.
The place is very clean, well organised with large screens showing the departure and arrival details of trains.
Buses are available outside too.

I would like to mention the very kind Churchill cleaning team leader who was on duty on the evening of 2nd July 21.
I had forgotten my case on a train but had been told it was being kept for me at Victoria station. Sadly the actual station staff were not helpful, for instance the attendant at left luggage just wanted me to go away as did several others. However this helpful and resourceful Churchill team leader came with me to ask around at the several places where we might get information and eventually came with me to the platform where my case was being held in a little office. Thank you (I wish I knew her name), it made me very happy to find such kindness and persistence on my return to England. Equally I was disappointed by the habitual ineffectiveness of the Railway Staff and even more so by their unhelpfulness. Training is required.

Quite a long walk and you have to cross the road too. Allow 15 minutes minimum for the walk..more to find your bay for the coach. Some coaches stop actually outside the staion itself so check first on your ticket where the stop is. !!
We had to catch the coach opposute the station NOT inside it..!!

It's very easy to get there on the Tube:
From Heathrow, take the Piccadilly line until GREEN PARK and change to the Victoria line and take it to Victoria station.

Sorry, I didn’t go to any pubs, but right outside the station there was the Shakespeare, doesn’t have great reviews. On this trip we ate at the Crypt at St. Martins in the Field in Trafalgar Square. Good luck.
