Victoria Street

Victoria Street has been redeveloped more or less consistently since the 1960s. In the late Victorian era it was mostly residential and lined with large red brick mansion flat blocks. Blitz damage in 1940-1941 tore gaps in its facades from Victoria Station to Great Smith Steet. Today it is a bustling commercial area.
