The Best Bars in Victoria
You’re in the presence of royalty! Located a mere stroll from King Charles’ headquarters, Victoria is well-known as one of London’s finest transport hubs.
It’s so easy to get to and from Victoria Station that we thought it made perfect sense to compile a list of the best bars in the area for you to enjoy too.
Cocktails? We got ‘em. Date night? That too. Our guide caters for all desires of entertainment: drinking, dining and socialising. Here are the top 7 we recommend:
Vagabond, Victoria
If you’re looking for the perfect date spot in London, Vagabond in Victoria is the place for you.
You might recognise the name – there are Vagabonds scattered across the whole of Londo – but the largest venue of them all is ideally located in the centre of London just outside Victoria Station.
The premise is simple – you taste samples of wines from all over the world by tapping your Vagabond card against the dispenser. From there, a small glass of wine will arrive, meaning you can try many different flavours before settling on a bottle.
What’s more, with plenty of cheese and charcuterie offerings to choose from, you can find the perfect wine & cheese combo to leave no doubt you’ll secure that second date. You can thank us later, romantics!

Located halfway between Victoria and Sloane Square, this charming bar serves up delicious cocktails and is renowned for its minimalist interior and seasonal dishes.
The best thing about No 11 is their dedication to a bottomless brunch. Kickstart your weekend with free flowing drinks and handpick tuned.

Greenwood, Victoria
Are you a sports lover? Then Greenwood is for you!
This two-leveled bar has so many screens it attracts sports fans from all over London. It’s a great option for major fixtures like the World Cup and the Super Bowl as it takes bookings and wherever you sit you’ll have a pretty good view.
When there’s not much sport on this bar is still pretty vibey as it attracts a lot of after-work drinkers due to its location just outside of Victoria station.
The food isn’t anything special, the kind of food you’d expect at a place like this but you’d probably only go if you’re looking to drink a lot any way.
Have to try: Coming here for the Superbowl
Perfect for: Major sports fixtures
