The Stoke House is a very smart, modern British steak house restaurant in Victoria, specialising food cooked over wood. It has a comfortable restaurant and bar and a pleasant terrace for drinks in the pedestrian area outside.
The restaurant is a very short walk from Victoria Station, through the Sir Simon Milton Square, the pedestrian precinct in the Nova development. This is a new venue for the Research Network and we hope it will be a good choice.
