London: Victoria is a safe place to stay?
I have never stayed in Victoria, but I have been to the station and
the TIC several times a couple years ago when I spent a week in London. It seemed really congested--full of buses and traffic--kind of like staying in Madison Square Garden area in NYC. If that doesn't bother you, Victoria will be fine. As for crime, we stayed at Earl's Court which was supposedly a not so nice area, and I didn't get the impression that it was unsafe--we were 3 women travellers. Regarding the restaurant and pub thing, you can always hop on the Tube and head over to Leicester Square or other parts of London. Have a good time. Lil "Viajero" wrote in message ... Hello all.

Buckingham Palace is in Victoria. It is a very safe area, one of the most expensive in the capital. phil |

While I don't think that the area around Victoria is dangerous, just a
bit seedy the presence of the Queen is of no relevance. She lives in a really gated community probably with a couple of companies of troops to greet strangers. (Although occasionally someone breaks in.) Normal folks are out on the streets. FFM Keith Willshaw wrote: "Viajero" wrote in message ... Hello all.

FFM Your humour detector appears to be broken. BTW I dont consider Victoria to be seedy althought its certainly busy, especially around Victoria Station. aware of. Along with Belgravia and Mayfair its one of the most expensive districts in London. If you want seedy take a look at Kings Cross. Keith |

London: Victoria is a safe place to stay?
It's pretty busy near Victoria station and Buckingham Palace but generally
safe. Belgrave road is lined with moderately priced hotels. Prices go down as you move away from the station. I normally stay at the Sydney. It's reasonable, clean and pretty convenient. There are several decent pubs in the area with some pretty good "pub grub" but I don't recall any notable restaurants. Adjacent to Victoria Station is Shakespeare's. It's pretty touristy but I like their fish & chips. Behind Buckingham palace is a nice pub called "Bag o' Nails". Enjoy -- Voyager (Remove the mystery meat to reply!) "Viajero" wrote in message ...
