About this Event

By popular demand we continue to run a series of station tours to celebrate rail’s remarkable past, its role today and its importance for a sustainable future. This immersive walking tour of Victoria’s historic station and the surrounding areas will be led by Network Rail and celebrated historian and author Rachel Kolksy.

Gateway to the Continent: Victoria

Two stations built side by side for different companies, eventually merged in the 1920s and for many people Victoria was from where they embarked on their first continental journey using the Night Ferry to France. There was glamour with the Orient Express travelling across Europe and the Imperial Airways Terminal put Victoria on map for air travel too. Intertwined are stories linked to WWI, beloved books and films, a luxury hotel and your guide Rachel’s own travel memories
