ReviewTucked away off the High Street by Scotland Green, the Victoria is just far enough away from White Hart Lane to lose the extreme mass of match day bodies although it can still get quite busy. The bright red brick gabled façade is probably the best feature, especially since the interior has now been refurbished at the cost of whatever character it once had. The old central bar has been shifted down one side probably more for functional purposes than anything of aesthetic value. The décor and furnishings are neat and tidy but very plain and soulless with a few barely noticeable old pictures and multiple screens that dominate the front bar. . There is a rear section with its own bar and pool table that caters for the overspill on match day although the bar itself is only used for private functions. A small patio at the back has a couple of benches. No Ales, just the usual kegs and lagers although on the plus side, service is efficient although it’s plastic glasses only on match day. The area isn’t exactly blessed with good pubs and I no longer drink around Tottenham unless absolutely necessary but, to be fair, I have generally found the Victoria to be fairly welcoming and it still remains one of the better choices for a pre match pint simply because you generally won't be rammed up against a pillar to drink it.
