It services bus services managed only by Transport for London, and should not be confused with Victoria Coach Station, which is the main London terminus for long distance coach services.
Victoria is London's busiest bus station, with 19 bus routes using the station, with 200 buses per hour passing through in the peak. It formerly had a substantial roof canopy spanning all lanes. This was demolished in April 2003 as part of the station's refurbishment.

Famous quotes containing the words victoria, bus and/or station:
“Sometimes my wife complains that she’s overwhelmed with work and just can’t take one of the kids, for example, to a piano lesson. I’ll offer to do it for her, and then she’ll say, “No, I’ll do it.” We have to negotiate how much I trespass into that mother role—it’s not given up easily.”
—Anonymous Father. As quoted in Women and Their Fathers, by Victoria Secunda, ch. 3 (1992)
“Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur “Thou still unravished bride of quietness,” then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
