The Willow Walk (JD Wetherspoon), Victoria, SW1

In the base of a modern building ,close to an entrance to Victoria station and running between Wilton Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road ,I feared for the worst in this 'spoons but was pleasantly surprised. It's quite modest in size,the area nearest the Vauhall Bridge Road is the best bit,a large banquette and opposite a raised seating booth area.The small bar has two ranks of handpumps,one dedicated to the Trio of Doom,however the other sported 5 genuine guests of which my Cairngorm IPA was very good (NBSS 4).The staff seemed keen and the place was kept tidy,with regular glass and plate collections. I may have been lucky visiting on a wet Tuesday lunchtime when it was not rammed but the ale options and conditioning may tempt me to another visit.The other pub options very close to Victoria station are abysmal,this pub by comparison was decent.

A long, narrow JDW with two entrances. I often call in here when on a pub crawl or heading to Victoria tube. The beer is usually in decent nick and there's usually a guest or two that I haven't had before. There's also a quiz machine that I often manage to win the price of my pint on.

Quite small nondescript Spoons with twelve pumps, one of which was reversed. Only Abbot worth drinking in this place.
