The Victoria
A solid Jericho local — unpretentious, reliable, and always good for a quiet pint.
The Victoria sits on Walton Street in the heart of Jericho, and it's the kind of pub that every neighbourhood needs: dependable, welcoming, and unbothered by trends. While flashier places open and close around it, the Vic just gets on with being a decent pub.
The interior is straightforward — one main bar with a mix of tables and a few tucked-away corners. Nothing about it screams for attention, and that's the appeal. It draws a mix of Jericho residents, OUP staff from up the road, and students who've figured out that not every night needs to be an event.
What to order
The ale selection is respectable without being showy. A few well-kept regulars and the occasional guest tap. Food is standard pub grub — burgers, fish and chips, pies — done competently.
The vibe
Unpretentious neighbourhood pub. Good for a midweek pint, catching up with a friend, or reading the paper. It's not trying to be a destination, and that's exactly why the regulars keep coming back.
