Welcome to the starting point of your London adventure — Victoria Station, one of the capital’s busiest and most important transport hubs. Opened in 1860 and named after Queen Victoria, the station quickly became a vital gateway between London and the south of England. Today, it connects travellers to Gatwick Airport, Brighton, Kent and beyond, while the adjacent London Underground station links directly to the Victoria, District and Circle lines.
Just next door is Victoria Coach Station, the largest coach terminal in the UK. Since opening in 1932, it has served millions of passengers arriving from across Britain and Europe. Its wide roads and spacious departure areas make it the perfect starting location for our sightseeing tour — easy to access and ideally positioned close to many of London’s most famous landmarks.
The Victoria area itself blends historic charm with modern development. You’ll notice grand Victorian architecture sitting alongside contemporary office buildings, hotels and theatres. Within walking distance are Westminster Cathedral, Apollo Victoria Theatre — home to world-class stage productions — and the elegant Belgravia district, known for its white stucco terraces and garden squares.
Starting here places us right on the edge of royal and political London. Within minutes we’ll be passing Buckingham Palace and entering the ceremonial heart of the city.
As you settle into your seat, this is the perfect moment to look around and absorb the energy of London. Victoria represents movement, connection and possibility — an ideal launch point for discovering over 2,000 years of history, culture and iconic sights.
