Victoria Attractions
Victoria is one of London’s major transport hubs, and as such offers visitors a chance to get away to other beauty spots in the rest of the UK, particularly all parts of Kent and the South East from the train station, and anywhere else you could want from the coach station. But if you’re staying in the area, there’s a lot to get your teeth into within a short walk from your front door.

Recommended Attraction in Victoria
Get yourself to a play at the Royal Court Theatre. Don’t be fooled by the “Royal” in the title of this theatre; it’s made itself a name as being one of the most subversive playhouses the country has ever seen, playing host over the years to the start of the Angry Young Men genre of playwriting, and to this day specialises in challenging, nationally and internationally minded new writing. Not everything there may be to your taste, but it’s certain to be politically charged and performed by some of the nation’s most respected actors. With two auditoriums and regular discounted ticket offers, you’d be well advised to jump on the tube to Sloane Square for this memorable night out.

There’s also a fantastic restaurant and café downstairs, where you can hobnob with London’s theatrical elite, pick up a copy of the play you’re about to see or browse through their decent library of plays, many of which are seldom available elsewhere. And if you catch a matinée, then you’ve got the afternoon to trip down the Kings Road and do some shopping (or just browsing if, like 99% of the population, you’re not rich enough to actually buy anything in Chelsea).

Alternative Things To Do in Victoria
It is, perhaps, a little bit of a cop-out to make this recommendation, but if it’s your first time in London and you’re staying in Victoria, then you’re almost morally obliged to go and see Buckingham Palace (that’s where the Queen lives in case you didn’t know). As well as being an amazing mansion, the Palace also opens up to visitors from August to late September in the State Rooms, and the Queen’s Gallery is open year-round. You can also watch the Changing of the Guard at the gates of the Palace any day you like, and that’s free! There’s a staggering selection of world-class Asian restaurants in the area, as well as the beautiful Green Park for a peaceful stroll.
