The Victory

The Victory opened on 21 May 2026 at 157 Lordship Lane, SE22, Jamie Younger returning to East Dulwich with chef Seán Breen — Franklin’s, Begging Bowl — in the old pub shell. Hot Dinners had the 21 May date in April and listed it Hot Right Now in August. olive magazine sat the minimally decorated room among 2026’s best new London restaurants.

The little-known fact is the inheritance: this is not a branded rollout, it is Younger back on Lordship Lane after Franklin’s, foie gras parfait and a whole roast poulet jaune instead of a gastropub formula. @the_victory_ed is the live camera; victoryrestaurant-bar.co.uk holds the book.

The pub is why you go; Lordship Lane is why it feels like London.
