Now playing: Hamilton From £24 Book tickets
The Nova development has put a cluster of restaurants within two minutes of the Victoria Palace Theatre, and the older pubs and hotels around the station are only a little further. Everything below is within about ten minutes.
Restaurants
Rail House Café (2 minutes). 8 Sir Simon Milton Square, Nova. A railway-themed all-day brasserie with a terrace and 330 covers, which makes it the safest bet for a table at short notice before the show.
Bone Daddies (2 minutes). 9 Sir Simon Milton Square, Nova. Ramen over two floors, with a central bar and an open kitchen. You don't need to book, and a bowl is quick enough to leave plenty of time before a 7:30pm curtain.
The Ivy Victoria (4 minutes). 66 Victoria Street. Smart British brasserie cooking for a special night out. The kitchen stays open late, so dinner can just as easily come after the show.
Bars and pubs
The Phoenix (3 minutes). 14 Palace Street. A side-street pub whose draw is its roof terrace, so save it for a dry evening.
The Bag O'Nails (4 minutes). 6 Buckingham Palace Road. A traditional pub dating back to 1775, with a beer garden and food all day.
The Albert (8 minutes). 52 Victoria Street, towards Westminster. An 1862 pub, Grade II listed, and the one to choose if you like a proper old London pub. It's the furthest of these, so leave a little time.
Hotels
The Clermont Victoria (4 minutes). 101 Buckingham Palace Road. A Victorian railway hotel that is part of the station building itself, which suits anyone arriving by train.
The Rubens at the Palace (4 minutes). 39 Buckingham Palace Road. A luxury hotel facing the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, with its own restaurants and bars, for a stay that's part of the occasion.
The Z Hotel Victoria (5 minutes). 5 Lower Belgrave Street. The budget pick: small, well-designed rooms at a low price.
Nearby FAQs
Where should I eat before a show at the Victoria Palace Theatre?
Nova, the development just along Victoria Street, is two minutes away, with Rail House Café for a proper sit-down dinner and Bone Daddies for a quick bowl of ramen. For somewhere smarter, The Ivy Victoria is four minutes along Victoria Street.
Which hotels are near the Victoria Palace Theatre?
The Clermont is built into Victoria station, four minutes away, and The Rubens at the Palace, on Buckingham Palace Road, is the luxury choice at the same distance. The Z Hotel Victoria, five minutes away, is the budget one.
Is Victoria a good area to stay in?
It's properly central. Buckingham Palace is 7 to 8 minutes on foot and Westminster Abbey about 15, and for getting around London, the station puts the tube, national rail and the Gatwick Express on your doorstep. It's an office and station district, so it's quieter late at night than Soho or Covent Garden.
