The Duke of York is a traditional pub at 130–134 Victoria Street, opposite Victoria Station and next to the Victoria Palace Theatre. Its central position makes it a convenient meeting place for commuters, visitors and theatre audiences looking for a meal or drink before a performance.
An upstairs dining area separates sit down meals from the busier ground floor bar. The food follows a familiar British pub format, with choices such as fish and chips, pies, sandwiches, steaks and other straightforward dishes suited to lunch or dinner.
The bar is associated with Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery and offers the company’s own beers and lagers alongside cider, wine, spirits and soft drinks. That house range, together with the traditional interior, gives the pub a recognisably classic character despite its busy modern Victoria location.
Service is geared towards both quick pre theatre visits and more relaxed meals, with seating and reservations available for diners. The combination of a dedicated eating space, substantial pub menu and long daily opening makes The Duke of York a practical all round venue in this heavily travelled part of London.
