If you entering London from anywhere in the South West, Waterloo will be your main point of entry. And a very impressive, efficient place it is!
With the large train station above ground that is always organised chaos, the plethora of bus stations just outside and direct access to three of the largest underground lines Waterloo is a commuter haven.
Southwest train lines run from here to all destinations in the Southwest of England. Large electronic boards in the main hall announce the departure and arrivals of the trains on the 19 platforms.
A large variety of shops for last-minute shopping or food and drinks surrounds the main hall.
There is underground access to the Northern line (Charing Cross branch); Bakerloo and Jubilee lines.
Buses depart from Waterloo to the West End, City and to the south of London.
Also – walking out of the station gives you direct access to the South Bank near the London eye and all the activities available there.
As a transport hub Waterloo is very good – and as a regular user I must say quite efficient!
