About Victoria

We are just off bustling Victoria Street, near the high-end boutiques of Elizabeth Street, and close to the iconic Cardinal Place.

But there are more pleasures here than mere shopping: on our door step you will find Buckingham Palace, New Scotland Yard and Westminster Abbey, not to mention some of the nation’s best loved musical theatre productions. Nestled into our streets are smaller, but no less important treasures including two small museums featured in Time Out’s Best Unsung Museums list.
