Hotels near The Victoria

The award-winning Yummy Pub Co has expanded recently with their latest London venture of transforming The Victoria in Mile End into a trendy gastropub. Formerly a typical east London boozer with a bland façade and chabby chic interior, the pub has now been given a new lease of life and will be a welcome addition for locals - especially with the recent closure of seven pubs in the area. Following the same format as the company's King's Cross venue, the Somerstown Coffee House, The Victoria now boasts three distinctive themes across its three floors. On the ground floor guests are welcomed into a stylish gastropub that serves a range of beers, cask ales and food, including a tempting range of British tapas dishes such as scotch eggs and breaded brie. This floor is also home to a newly created artisan coffee bar, open early every day and accessible from both inside and out. Venturing onto the first floor, diners will find the Ssshh Supper Club, a trio of themed rooms including The Kitchen Room, where you can watch the chefs at work; The Board Room, ideal for parties and small gatherings with its hidden stash of aged and oaked scotch; and the Lodge Room, a kiddie free area that's perfect for a quiet Sunday Lunch or romantic date. Meanwhile, the basement houses the hidden Magri's Cocktail Bar - the entrance to which we are keeping firmly under wraps! On top of all that, Yummy also plan on taking advantage of the building's flat roofs by using the space to grow their own fruit and vegetables, and keep chickens to lay fresh eggs, while the generous sized beer garden is home to a cocktail caravan and ingenious sheltered booths to ensure the garden is inviting all year round. We know where we're going to be at the weekend from now on.
