  • In this video, Sinead, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot London, takes you on a walk around Belgravia London, the neighborhood surrounding Victoria Station. MORE LONDON VIDEOS - • Walking around London .
    The tour begins just outside the station, which is the first view of London many visitors have upon arriving in the city, before heading to Lower and Upper Grovesnor Gardens, two little city square oases in the middle of the hustle and bustle of London.
    You will then be brought to the Goring Hotel, the hotel used by Katherine Middleton and her family on the night before her wedding day.
    The tour ends at Little Ben, a cast-iron replica of Big Ben and a great photo opportunity if you are in the city.
    And along the way, you will see interesting architecture, memorials, art installations, and much more.

      The wider area is beautiful. The streets are clean and at night it's so peaceful. In the more residential areas cars are pretty much not around [parked up] and people are really quiet. Such a nice place wooow. The coach station is really spacious and has various places including a Starbucks to eat but there's McDonald's and such in the surrounding areas. Very nice place and the coach station has lots of seats.

    Grosvenor (/ˈɡroʊvənər/) is a surname derived from Hugh Le Grand Veneur, a member of a Norman French family that aided William the Conqueror in 1066. "Le Grand Veneur" literally means "the Master Huntsman" in French, an elevated title in William's 11th-century French court.

    I really am enjoying this series of tours of London on foot. I have lived and worked in various parts of London over the years in my youth and nice to revisit and see changes. I'm looking forward to part 2 as I lived in a hostel near to Victoria Cathedral and used to enjoy walking to work at WHS Advertising at Buckingham Gate Road nearby. You can also walk up along the river bank to Tate Modern from Victoria. If you have the time and energy you see so much more exploring London on foot rather than always travelling by bus or tube.

    My eldest daughter as a teenager thought that Victoria train station and coach station were bang next door to each other. She had to run faster than she had ever done before to catch her coach in time with two huge suitcases weighing her down. She still feels indignant about it several years later.
