The Wetherspoons

Overcrowded and smokey this jam packed bar is situated elevated above Victoria Station and draws in travellers like a magnet. Inside you find no seats but backpackers majestically propped on suitcases and seventy people screaming at the bar staff to get them drinks. The place winds to the right as you go in to reveal a second bar and then empties onto a balcony at the back overlooking the rest of the station. We find a seat half a mile away and take our drinks with us, so far from the bustle and lack of music we have still bought the smoke with us and wonder how on earth a Wetherspoons can be so expensive.

Overall a very shocking 2/10. But it must indeed be an oasis for a thirsty traveller stranded at Victoria Station.
