FIVE MINUTES FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE

Victoria — Gateway to Royal London

Step out of Victoria Station's Buckingham Palace Road exit and you are five minutes walk from the world's most famous royal residence. Turn left onto Grosvenor Gardens, cross into Buckingham Palace Road, and the front gates rise into view. Behind them, the London home of His Majesty the King, unchanged in its Neoclassical grandeur since John Nash's 1826 remodelling.

"Victoria Station sits at the heart of Royal London — moments from the Palace, the Royal Mews, and St James's Park." ROYAL BOROUGH OF WESTMINSTER GUIDE

The Royal London walking triangle from Victoria takes in Buckingham Palace, St James's Park (with its pelicans and cross-park view to the London Eye), and the Household Cavalry Museum at Horse Guards Parade. Add Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and you have a morning of quintessential London within a mile of the station.

For our chauffeur clients arriving at Victoria via Gatwick Express, this proximity means an especially seamless transition into the most upmarket district in the capital. Belgravia's stucco terraces begin two streets away. Mayfair's Grosvenor Estate sits north. Chelsea's King's Road is a five-minute drive south. Victoria is not just a station, it is the epicentre of aristocratic and diplomatic London.

Royal London Photo Stop

On request, your chauffeur pauses at Buckingham Palace gates and the Royal Mews en route to your onward destination. Complimentary with Executive tier and above. Ideal for first-time London visitors.
