Our guides to waterloo, chosen on merit.
Waterloo is culture at scale: the National Theatre, the BFI, the Old Vic and the Young Vic all within a few streets of each other, with the South Bank running along the river in front of them. Behind the station, Lower Marsh keeps a scruffier and more useful side of the neighbourhood alive, and the arches hide more than you would guess.
Our Waterloo guides cover the best of it, from the pre-theatre tables to the bars and market stalls locals actually use. Chosen on merit, for a curtain-up deadline or a slow walk along the river.
