The Garden

Victoria Hall is a Stanton Williams-designed student residence, which was commissioned by the Aga Khan Development Network. There are two gardens integrated into the building, which form part of a unique series of contemporary landscape-designed gardens in King’s Cross. The two gardens at Victoria Hall seek to capture the essence of the gardens of southern Spain (1st floor) and Morocco (8th floor). Ten gardens in total form a ribbon pathway of Islamic-inspired gardens in King's Cross: six gardens, terraces and courtyards in the Aga Khan Centre, two at Victoria Hall and two in the public realm, Jellicoe Gardens and Lewis Cubitt Square. Please note that OGSW tickets will not be on sale at Victoria Hall.
