the walk from Victoria train to Victoria coach is a bit of a pain if
you have luggage - lacking stairs but much longer than the Victoria tube
connection.

(Is there a way to get out of the 'country' end of Victoria railway
station, rather than coming out of Terminus Place and having to walk all
all the way round?)


Go through the upstairs food court. Or use the exit to Buckingham Palace
Road that's slightly to the country end of the main concourse beyond the
escalators to the food court.


I'd recommend the Buckingham Palace Road exit - this is also the way to
Victoria Coach Station which is signposted in Victoria railway station -

I'm pretty sure there are then street signs pointing the way to VCS.

I don't think I'd suggest going up the escalators and through Victoria
Place Shopping Centre (which is a bit more than just a food court,
though undoubtedly the McDonald's signs are very prominent from the
concourse). I think there are some stairs at the far end on this route
out of Victoria Place onto Eccleston Bridge, though I guess there's
probably a ramp as well.
