Victoria Area

The Victoria Area covers:

• Victoria Station - one of the busiest interchanges in London, which includes the heritage listed railway station buildings, the underground station as well as Terminus Place which is a major hub for bus and taxi movement
• Victoria Coach Station - 800m southwest of the railway station which provides long distance links to the UK and continental Europe
• Victoria Street - to the east, which is an established linear commercial and shopping precinct which extends just over 1km between Victoria Station and Westminster Abbey. Victoria Street accommodates a number of major commercial and government buildings including City Hall, New Scotland Yard, Windsor House and Cardinal Place.

Planning Brief

The Council's adopted Victoria Area Planning Brief provides guidance for development in the Victoria Area. A consultation draft of this brief was consulted on during the spring/summer 2010 and a revised version was presented to planning sub-committee (Planning Briefs and LDF) on 11th May 2011 for approval to adopt.  Please click here to find out more about the Victoria Area Planning Brief and to read the latest report.

The overarching planning policies that cover the Victoria area and the rest of Westminster are set out in the Council's Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and emerging Local Development Framework (LDF).
