The Victoria
When it comes to creating the perfect London haunt, it's important to have all bases covered, and The Victoria does just that. A vintage gem in the heart of Dalston, it has a well-established heritage, being a part of the community for over 100 years. The venue is owned by art collective Jaguar Shoes, and boasts a gorgeous 1950s-era bar that can be located in the centre of the pretty haunt. Expect to find the perfect combination of booze and bites, with a focus on premium rum and moreish grub, like make-your-own pizzas plus bacon and blue cheese burgers. It's also been famed for its entertainment since the 80s, with a roster of live music in the back room worth sticking around for.
