London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Victoria Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

What a nice surprise to walk into this very classy lobby, welcomed by a very friendly bellman. The location really couldn't be better. It's steps away from Victoria station. In fact, thought it was closed while we were there, but they actually have an elevator the drops you right into the station. The front desk was willing to help whenever we asked and the room was what we expected. We didn't try the breakfast, as it was a full buffet and priced as such - we simply don't want that much food to justify the cost. We did try the lounge one night. Servers were very friendly, but not exceedingly knowledgeable. We got the impression that some of the workers were new to the area, having recently relocation from India. Still they were nice and engaged the help of others as needed. One of the bartenders was VERY kind and accommodating, coming to our table to help clarify questions and even to offer very helpful and friendly advice to us as travelers. We were a little disappointed that the lounge manager came to hurry him away. Overall, we were pleased with our choice, and would certainly consider staying here again.

Wonderful stay at the hotel. Great welcome and check-in. Near Victoria Station as well as the buses and coach station, so access to theaters shops. The hotel is fabulous with free nonalcoholic drinks and snacks. The breakfast buffet choice is excellent with good service. Would have liked lactose-free yogurt. Bar with drinks after the theatre really enjoyed the vibe and the service was excellent. Room with tea coffee chocolate but the hot water for the bath was lukewarm. Informed staff re water who said would look into it. Overall recommend the hotel would stay again.

Steer clear. Dated hotel with a lot of problems. Great location and very convenient to my working location when I travel to London for work, but not worth the discomfort. I’ve stayed here twice over the last two months and both stays were riddled with problems, with only very minimal apology, and no real interest in correcting or making me whole for them. Stay 1, April 2024: hot water was out in the entire hotel for a day; fire alarm went off in the middle of the night evacuating the entire hotel, and staff caused confusion and panic by first saying it was a false alarm, and then coming back through to tell people to evacuate. Mentioned this to front desk at checkout and not so much as an apology. Stay 2, June 2024: A/C not working in my room. Called front desk Monday night, which promised to send maintenance. They never came. Called again two more nights, same promise to send someone the next day. They did bring an oscillating fan up to my room. They offered a 20% discount on the stay. In addition, the mattress is so old it deeply sags on both sides of the bed. The hotel is in a pretty old Victorian building but other than some new tiling in bathrooms, you can tell it’s badly in need of a renovation. Very unlikely to stay here again, which is unfortunate due to how convenient the location is.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hotel has a grand lobby with a beautiful flower display. As soon as we arrived our bags were taken care of and everyone was very helpful. We had one small problem, this was taken care of and we were very happy. We also loved the snacks in room. If ever in London again, I would definitely stay here.

Great location, blocks from Buckingham Palace and above the Victoria line underground. Multiple restaurants within a few blocks. Excellent, attentive staff. Only complaint is that the bath tub/shower is a huge fall hazard, would recommend changing it to walk in shower. Otherwise room was clean, comfortable, modern.

I stayed here on a business trip. From the start I already knew the service was going to be great. The doorman was very welcoming and humorous and also very funny. I then checked in and multiple people offered to bring my bags up. After 15 min in the room, I also got a call from the reception to check on me. There was also a snack that was a surprise to me, themed with my Company’s logo. Everyone I talked to was super nice. The hotel itself was maybe not for me, very old school, but if you are into that, then this is for you. The room was very fresh, and very clean. A super comfortable bed and very nice pillows. The bathroom was also quite nice. Finally location. I don’t love it, as it’s quite far from where most of my activities were, mainly Soho. But the hotel is very close to the Victoria station, and walking distance to Buckingham Palace. So keep that in mind.

Although the rooms are small due to their age, they are well designed and very comfortable. The hotel was exceptionally clean and well kept. It is the staff that really put this place over the top. Check in was pleasant and very helpful. A bellman brought our bags up and reviewed some of the features of the room. The concierge followed up moments later to confirm the room met our needs. Top all this off with the fact that the Rubens is just around the corner from Buckingham palace and you have an excellent hotel for a first visit to London.

An incredible stay for the beginning of our vacation. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is so beautiful!! The lobby, the bar, the breakfast area. We did a Royal High Tea, had dinner at The English Grill and breakfast almost every morning. The hotel is right next to Buckingham Palace and Victoria tube station so getting anywhere is so easy. Cannot wait to stay here again.

We went for a gorgeous bottomless champagne afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. The food was amazing….presented beautifully and wonderfully tasty! The champagne kept flowing and the atmosphere was relaxed. We had some great servers including Kalpita who was delightful. Always a smile and really friendly. I would definitely return, a wonderful treat for any occasion!

We hosted a customer event and had a fantastic experience at The Rubens at the Palace! I want to share my thanks and compliment the staff who assisted us with logistics on the day. They were super responsive and helped everything run smoothly. We truly appreciate the level of detail and care taken to make our event exceptional. Highly recommend!

I'm thrilled to share with you my recent culinary adventure at Rosa's Thai Victoria. Let me just say that the Pad Thai chicken is a dish you shouldn't miss! It's a masterful mix of flavours that bring your taste buds to life. But what makes this experience even more special is the service provided by their staff member Harri. Harri is not just a waiter but an ambassador of hospitality. His friendly and attentive service made the whole dining experience memorable. From recommending dishes to providing timely refills, he's truly the cherry on top of an already delightful meal. So, if you're in the mood for authentic Thai cuisine, Rosa's Thai Victoria is a place you should definitely check out. And if Harri is your waiter, consider yourself lucky!

We ordered Pad Thai (King Prawns) and Classic Platter for sharing, the food was great. That's perfect for 2 people. I like the Chicken satay & Honey-marinated pork skew, must try! The iced milk tea was not as usual, it is milky and you can taste milk more than tea.

It had a good selection of food. I wouldn’t get dessert from there though. But the main dishes were lovely. I had popcorn shrimp which were fresh and crispy. And I had the drunken noodles with chicken. Also very fresh, and the chicken was very tasty. Good filling meal.

It's a wonderful restaurant, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Where you can enjoy reasonably price tasty Thai food and lovely cocktails. I had lunch here, which I enjoyed with a glass of wine on this visit. The service was excellent.

Cozy place with a good atmosphere, background music, clean and tidy. The bathrooms are clean. It is located in a strategic point of the city, behind the beautiful Victoria station, but unfortunately without parking. Beautiful service plates, colorful and artistic. Friendly staff and always attentive to the needs of the customers. We went on a Monday, the food was quite fast. Excellent food, especially the appetizers. In our bill was in the average. I recommend it.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The amenities, including the pool and fitness center, were excellent. A special mention goes to Michael at the reception. He was incredibly helpful and attentive, offering great recommendations and assisting with a last-minute booking change. His warm and professional service made our stay even better. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning. Thanks to Michael and the rest of the staff for making our stay memorable!

Our second visit to Victoria Park Plaza. A very well-situated establishment and near public transport. The area has different restaurants & pubs and Buckingham Palace is reachable by foot. The bedrooms need some refreshments and are a little dark too. Personnel are friendly and welcoming. A good address. Thank you

I stayed at this hotel during a bachata event that took place here last weekend. The hotel is in a very good location, very central and close to train station and tube. Rooms are spacious. Staff is friendly and efficient. The event space is great and the event was well organised. Had a really good time and cant wait to go back.

They are currently undergoing a remodeling of the rooms. The first room I was given, the bathroom flooded from the shower. They changed me to a newly remodeled room where the new bathrooms are black tile with minimal lighting. Very dark. I wish they had more outlets closer to the bed so I didn't have to get up each time my phone rang or text bc there were none close to me. The location of the hotel is fantastic. This was actually my second time staying bc of the close proximity to the Victoria station/line. Also, many walkable restaurants and bars.

The food here was excellent. Ylenia and Marius provided great service. They both were friendly , attentive, and provided a wonderful experience. Thanks to Marius for keeping my family and I entertained with his magic tricks. I highly recommend the fish and chips and to ask to have them both to assist you when you dine . Thank you both again for everything!

This pub has a really nice feel to it and is very pretty. We had dinner in the upstairs part which was beautiful. There’s also an outside covered terrace that looked really lovely. The food was really tasty and artfully presented. Only thing that let it down was that the scallops were a bit over cooked. Paige served us and she was very attentive and friendly, she made an Old Fashioned for my husband, even though it wasn’t on the cocktail menu.

Always accommodating for walk-ins. I went with my parents and my dad really liked it! The burger and salad 🥗 options were delicious, it was full of flavour and portion is great. My dad really liked his cocktails as well! Managers and staff are lovely, restaurant is nice and cozy! It’s for all season and location was spot on across Nova site in Victoria !

Cool little place..Stopped in here for a bite to eat after visiting Buckingham palace from the bus tour. The salad was so crisp and huge for a "small". I also had the honeycomb ice cream which was to die for.

We had lunch here. We had chicken, fish and chips, kids size pasta and some sweet potato fries. They were all very good. The service was unbelievably amazing. Staff here were trying to cheer my daughter up and make her laugh, super nice and have sense of humor. Love this place.

Great experience at afternoon tea. Tasty food was plentiful. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The price was great, especially for the amount of food that we received. Large selection of teas, and a very delicious hot chocolate.

Had afternoon tea, fixed price, good deal for the the price. The savory bites were delicious, the scones were great but the sweets were meh. Note if you have a group of 4+ then you can add a glass of prosecco for free.

Recently came here for dinner. Food was great, fresh and hot. Staff members were very helpful and welcoming. Will be back.
Jean-Francois LeBlanc - a week ago

The food was very disappointing for a quick bite and to pay close to £70! The pasta was extremely dry, and you could tell that it has been sitting, waiting to be given to someone, lucky me... The other disappointing order was the chips! How can you screw up chips, unless is done internationally because they do not care about the customers! I hope people will avoid this place unless they feel charitable and wants to give their money away!
EL Adonai - a month ago

Ok, for what it is, it's not the best pasta in the world, but in my opinion it's good enough - good portions, nice vibe and prime location - what I was looking for at the time. Friendly staff with good customer service 👍 which was essential for catching up with friends, you want to talk about what's new in your life and what's been bothering you, not being distracted or disappointed by something else around you. Quick service and consistent recipe. All in all, well done for a chain restaurant 👍

I visited with my daughters earlier for the first time and was really disappointed. The staff were very abrupt and quite rude, with the exception of one staff member who offered us our leftovers as takeaway. The food was mediocre, it did however arrive very quickly after us ordering. It arrived before the drinks. When it came to paying, it was made out that our payment method was declining-which it was not, after some insistence the card was not the problem and it was actually the machine. No apology was offered for the accusations of us not being able to pay.

Wonderful late night dinner. Steps from Clermont Victoria and Victoria tube station. Reasonably priced, attentive service, delicious drinks, and expansive menu choices at varying price points. Nice portion size. Definitely did not leave hungry. See photos Spaghetti carbonara Veal milanese Frosty frog and old fashioned Affogato and tiramisu

I love this chill and casual place. The seating outside the blankets and the food . I’d recommend the carpaccio , eggplant parmesiana and angel hair pasta .

We came for Valentines Day. The staff were friendly. The food was good though my friend who ordered the Fritto Misto wasn't happy. He said it wasn't at all crunchy but rather quite soggy. My Dover Sole was good and the Carbonara excellent.

I visited Santini as a guest for business. It's located on a quiet road off of Buckingham Palace Road. Decor is lovely. It's very luxe. Staff are very friendly. One of our servers was wearing a kind of boiler suit getup. Wasn't sure if he was a chef or something but I liked it. The food was delicious. I had scallops to start and lobster linguine. I didn't have dessert as I was rather full but did have a dessert wine and biscotti. Italian is my favourite cuisine and I really enjoyed it here. I'm not sure I would come back of my own accord but that is largely because Victoria is not a desirable area to me, especially as it's a mass construction site at the moment plus I prefer local homely Italian restaurants.

What an amazing place. Top notch Italian food, great service - just what you need when you are eating out. The pizza and the mains were excellent. Expansive menu, something you’d find for every taste. Highly recommend and I’m going to definitely visit again. Perfect place to go if you have theatre night planned too!

If you are in the Victoria area and feel like an Italian - Give this place a try. Highly recommended. Great family atmosphere - that feels cosy and warm. Wonderful food and great attentive staff. We had the vegie pizza, pasta with chips.

I'm usually quite fussy when it comes to choose italian restaurant, but if you happen to be in Victoria you don't have to look any further. From the starter, to the main, to the desert, everything was exquisite. Very authentic italian food, so nice and full of flavors. Accompany your meal with an aperol sprits and a glass of italian red wine (i choose primitivo ) and you can get the most authentic italian experience. The service as well was top notch and the atmosphere of restaurant was very nice. We will definitely be back.

The spaghetti carbonara. Hideous. Casually puts salty pancetta on crazy salty sauce with spaghetti. Not today. The sauce is literally crazy salty. The spaghetti in the sauce was crazy. The service however was great until you decided to put 2 spoons of cheese on my food. It was not for me. Even my body is rejecting the salty stuff. The dessert is the only good part. Tiramisu to perfection. The service was still great with refills of the well needed water. And it was the only restaurant that gave me time to breathe when picking what to eat.

Great food, great atmosphere, great location. Absolutely loves the resturant vibes and food, their portions are pretty big and they got a vast variety of drinks options. Prices are fair for the food quality.

The best fish and chips yet!!! The service is very friendly and the setting is perfect. We stopped in again and sampled the steak pie. It was delicious too!!!
Rebecca Kaatz - 2 weeks ago

Pretty good food. Fun environment. Easygoing restaurant where you just sit yourself, get your table number, and go order at the bar. The pie was crispy and homey and delicious. The chicken katsu burger was pretty good, but they used Indian curry instead of Japanese curry, which I didn't like much. Overall, give it a shot!

Aayushi along with the rest of the staff, was super friendly and efficient. Food was great, as usual, and will continue to be the place we come to on our return journey home from London. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to vacate within a certain time frame. See you again soon 😊
