Victoria bus station is a bus station outside London Victoria station. It is managed only by Transport for London. ^[1] In 1970, work commenced on a substantial roof canopy. ^[2] This was demolished in April 2003 as part of the station's refurbishment. ^[3]

Routes 3, 38, 52 and 390 terminate within the bus station while others pass through. Many other routes pass by on adjoining streets but do not enter the bus station. ^{[4] [5]}

In January 2020, Victoria BID – the local Business improvement district – proposed removing the bus station from the mainline station forecourt to create a new "Station Square". Bus stops would be relocated to nearby streets. ^{[6] [7]}
