Shops & Amenities

Victoria is awash with places to shop, especially within its two large shopping centres: Cardinal and Victoria Place. Both of these contain a handy selection of gyms (e.g. City Athletic), banks (e.g. Barclays), clothes shops (e.g. Zara), cafes – and lots more. That said, there are plenty more independent options and high street brands spread out before you on Victoria Street. Popping along to the Nova development is a great option for both shopping and food.

For daily needs, there are several supermarkets, including Tesco and Sainsbury’s – and it’s very easier to travel further afield to get whatever you can’t find with Victoria’s excellent transport links.

On a separate note, something else that defines Victoria is its proximity to the royal St. James’ Park, and the fact that Hyde Park and Green Park also sit very close by. These provide a pleasant and tranquil escape from Victoria’s busiest streets, contrasting its reputation as a transport hub. Learn more about living in Victoria in London in our guide.
