The best pubs near Victoria Station in London
Victoria Station has long been associated with "pleasure trips", i.e. those journeys you make when you want to escape London and head to the South Coast. Always busy, thanks to its connections to other parts of the capital and iconic sites like Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, you can expect a good mix of tourists and commuters in the area. All of these pubs and bars are just a short walk away from the main station and out into the wider Pimlico and Westminster areas.
The Queen's Arms
Distance from train station: 5 mins
The Jugged Hare
Distance from train station: 5 mins
While the frontage shows its original status of a bank, the inside is very much in traditional pub territory. They have Master Cellarman status and make sure their range of five ales, brewed in Chiswick, are in premium condition. You can also watch football and rugby on their big screens, and there's a beer and burger offer to take advantage of while you watch.
The Albert
Distance from train station: 7 mins
This Grade II listed pub is named after Queen Victoria's husband, and is between Victoria Station and Westminster. You can enjoy your beer while taking in the original Victorian features, including frosted glass and wrought iron balconies. It is also part of the Taylor-Walker Ale trail, so check out their featured beers.
Cask Pub and Kitchen
Distance from train station: 6 mins
As befitting the name, this pub has built its reputation on its range of beers from some of the best breweries in the UK. If you have like what you buy - and there are around 400 different drinks to choose from - you can also get their bottled beer to take away. They also have the perfect pre-week wind down with a live acoustic Bluegrass set every Sunday afternoon.
Abbey London
Distance from train station: 10 mins
Popular with the after work crowd, this underground bar has comfy seats to sit back in and unwind from a day at the office. For a downstairs bar, it's surprisingly light and airy, but come the evening they dim the lights so you can relax and enjoy a more intimate ambiance.
