Announcement – Sunday 7th April 2024
The Hampden Collection Team has been extremely busy over the last 12 months, as we forge relationships with key organisations to support our long-term UNESCO mission. We are delighted to announce the 20th member of our Football’s Square Mile Alliance, the Victoria Bar and Queen’s Park Cafe, situated on Victoria Road, both of which are in the heart of the world’s biggest open-air football museum and bookend the famous Eglinton Terrace.
Our latest FSM Alliance Ambassador, Annie Kane, Manager of both pubs, explains further, ‘The Victoria Bar and Queen’s Park Cafe, situated on Victoria Road, are, first and foremost, community pubs at their heart. Over the years, many football historians and fans have enquired about 3 Eglinton Terrace and the founding meeting of Queen’s Park Football Club.’
‘Therefore, we are delighted to join the Football’s Square Mile Alliance to support telling this story, and the wider Glasgow and Scotland footballing story through its UNESCO ambitions.’
We are thrilled to have these two great pubs of Victoria Road onboard and look forward to promoting the rich footballing history of the local area to all those who want to learn the story of the Scotch Professors.
