As far as I'm aware Virgin Atlantic have never had a check in facility at Victoria Station.

The Central London Air Terminal at London Victoria Station was built for British United Airways and was officially opened on the 01 May 1962 it was later expanded by British Caledonian Airways, after the merger with British Airways in 1998 the Victoria Station check in facility was kept and was well patronised and other airlines including American Airlines and Delta were also using the facility.

After 9/11 with security concerns and a decline in passengers using the facility the British Airways Central London Air Terminal at London Victoria Station was closed in 2002 as part of a major restructuring of the airline.
