VICCY BENCHES

“Victoria Benches – aka ‘Viccy Benches’ – was a central fixture in London street skateboarding in the late ‘90s and ‘00s. Set in a small park in Victoria, next door to Scotland Yard, the spot’s high ledges were notoriously difficult to skate.

Since the Victoria spot’s demise in 2019, Palace have been storing and regularly waxing two Viccy Benches in a top secret facility. Now, in Manor Place, they are available to skate once again, for free, for all who can get up there.”
