Victoria ward is located in the cityside area of Derry, positioned directly west of the River Foyle. The ward is primarily a residential district, characterised by terraced housing and several local schools serving the community. It contains a portion of the historic city walls, with the iconic Guildhall situated just beyond its eastern boundary at the riverfront. The area's street layout reflects its development as part of the old city.
The ward includes the landmark St Columb's Cathedral and its surrounding grounds. Brooke Park provides a significant green space with recreational facilities for local residents. The area is directly connected to the rest of the city centre by the Craigavon Bridge and the Peace Bridge, facilitating movement across the river. Residential life here is centred around these established local amenities and thoroughfares.
