The pub is found in Victoria, Central London, SW1V 1JT.
Pub inside Victoria mainline railway station in an upstairs area accessible by escalators. Smallish pub with outside seating for super views over the station concourse. 12 handpumps in total in two banks, each of 6. Last refurbished in early 2024 when it expanded into neighbouring premises to provide more seating. It is reported that the food menu here may be more restricted than other JDW venues, due to kitchen constraints.
We have visited this pub 31 times, seen 111 different beers and tried 37 of them.
