Err, Victoria is an area of London - was it ever thus? If I dig up a map
of London in the middle ages will I find an area called Victoria?

No, you will find the Manor of Ebury.

The area is actually Belgravia, after all.

That's as much an upstart as Victoria:

Wasn't the area Pimlico before all this Victoriana started?
