Victoria Station


London Victoria station, generally known as Victoria, is a 

central London railway terminus and London Underground 

complex named after nearby Victoria Street. With over 

73 million passenger entries and exits between April 

2010 and March 2011, Victoria is the second-busiest 

terminus in London (and the UK) after Waterloo, and

 includes an air terminal for passengers travelling by 

train to Gatwick Airport. It is one of 19 stations managed 

by Network Rail. The area around the station is an 

important interchange for other forms of transport: a 

local bus station is in the forecourt, and Victoria Coach 

Station for long-distance road coaches is nearby. Victoria 

is in Traverlcard Zone 1.



Victoria is a London terminus for both Southern and 

Southeastern. Southern provides the majority of 

commuter/regional services to South London and Sussex 

as well as parts of East Surrey via the Brighton Main 

Line. Southeastern provides services in South East 

London and along the Chatham Main Line to Kent. It is 

also the terminus for the Gatwick Express service to 

Gatwick Airport.




There are effectively four railway stations on the site: on 

National Rail, two serving main-line routes in south 

eastern England, to Brighton, Hove, Worthing, 

Eastbourne, Canterbury and Dover; and on the London 

Underground, an underground station built by the cut and 

cover method serving the District and Circle lines and the 

deep-level Victoria line tube line station.





Victoria station is the closest mainline station to 

Buckingham Palace.
