The Victoria, W2

The Victoria is an attractive corner pub with patio furniture along the outside path. Inside a central L-shaped bar serves curved banquette seating to the right and standard furniture to the left. The wooden flooring and ornate well-tended traditional décor make for a welcoming boozer. This is a Fullers pub so the six handpumps were drawing London Pride (x2) and ESB alongside Tiny Rebel’s 93 Til Infinity, Dark Star’s Hophead and Norcotts Cider. A premium and craft keg range was also available, as was food; the burger is priced at £15.25. There is an advertised dining room upstairs that I didn’t visit on this occasion. The pub was comfortably busy during my recent Friday afternoon visit, although the weather was fine so all of the outside seating was taken. I found the staff to be polite and the governor was extremely friendly. I look forward to visiting here again when I’m next in the area.
