• History Victoria Street, London Middlesex England

  Long before Cardinal Place opposite the Cathedral came into being there was a huge brewery (Stag Brewery) based at the southern end of Victoria Street. From the early 17th century it started off as a small brewhouse with properties that once were part of St James' Palace. This then substantially grew and then was bought and owned by Watney & Co.
