The Vic is a fairly large casino which is spread over multiple floors. On the top floor, which is where I spend most of my time, you'll find one of the biggest (or rather, the biggest) poker rooms in London.
Cash games start at £1-£1 (10% rake, £5 cap) and the £1-£2 game at the Vic is one of the best value in London - 5% rake with a £10 cap. There are also £2-£5 and £5-£10 games running most nights (5%, £5 cap). Games are mainly hold'em but there is also the occasional PLO table.
The Victoria also run multi table tournaments each night at 7:45 as well as an additional afternoon game on the weekends. Surprisingly, some of these tournaments have no registration fee.
The Vic is also home to a number of large events including legs of the GUKPT.
The quality of play here varies significantly, and there are plenty of donks pooring money onto the tables as well as the resident sharks who take the donks money. Plus there's always a guy at every table who never bluffs and whose play is so predictable they might have well have a copy of Harrington on Hold'em in front of them.
The poker tables and chairs are starting to look a little worn, so it might be time for them to spruce things up a bit!
Also on the top floor is a restaurant that serves a variety of cuisine (standard fare plus, depending on what day it is, thai and chinese offers), a bar (just under £4 a pint) and some electronic roulette terminals.

Not that bad

I think the guy in the review before me has a case of 'my casinos are better than your casinos' syndrome. If you want Vegas, go to Vegas...
The Vic is nice enough - plenty of poker action and the occasional famous face playing. There are also a number of big poker events throughout the year which you can qualify for online or through live satellites. General standard of play varies and some of the locals are pretty good but there are enough fish to go around.
Rest of the casino is pretty standard. Food is similar to what you'd find in a decent london pub - ok but nothing to shout about.
All in all it's a decent casino so long as you're not looking for Vegas flash - for that you'll need to head to the empire on Leicester square.

Dissapointing

Victoria Poker London Movies

I flew to London, England for a big poker tournament at the Victoria and was quite dissapointed with what I found. Being from LV I'm used to big flashy casinos, cute cocktail waitresses and wasted tourist on tilt. None of these were at this casino and you even had to PAY for your drinks.
Maybe all casinos in England are like this, but I came with the expectation of the high class gaming you see in the movies. And not once did the Queen or any of her cohorts sit next to me at the poker table.
