Information on London Waterloo Station



Standing near the South Bank in the London Borough of Lambeth is the complex of stations including two National Rail stations, a London Underground station which includes the Waterloo and City Line to Bank (also known as the Drain) covering an area of 24 ½ acres and dealing with a quarter of a million passengers a day. There is a satellite station in Waterloo East which links it to London Bridge mainline terminus and stations to the east. Waterloo East is reached by a high walkway fro Waterloo.

London Waterloo station also know as just “Waterloo” was designed by William Tite and opened on 11 July 1848 by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) as ‘Waterloo Bridge Station’ when its main line was extended from Nine Elms. It officially became ‘Waterloo Station’ in 1886.

In 1853 the four platform station was replaced as it was inadequate to cope with passenger volumes, the 1853 Waterloo was itself extended a number of times. An unexpected addition was the ‘Cemetery Station’ of the Necropolis & national Mausoleum Company which ran a regular train service for coffins and mourners to a cemetery at Brookwood, Surrey near Woking. In 1860 ‘Windsor Station’ was added to Waterloo as a semi separate station now represented by platforms 16 to 21 and which had a distinctive roof from the rest. Other extensions were made in 1878 and 1885 resulting in a very muddled railway.
Waterloo went through a series of transformations between 1900 and 1922 to finish up with 21 platforms and a concourse of nearly 800ft (250m) long.

The main pedestrian entrance, the Victory Arch is a memorial to company staff who were killed during the two World Wars.

Waterloo lost two of its platforms, 20 and 21 to Waterloo International Railway Station, designed by architectural firm Grimshaw Architects at a cost of £135 million and taking 5 years to complete. Standing to the west of Waterloo mainline station, it was managed separately from the mainline station by Eurostar, with services to stations at Calais-Frethun, Lille-Europe, Brussels-South, Paris Gare du Nord, Marne la Vallee-Chessy (Disneyland), Avignon Centre, Moutliers, Alme la Plagne and Bourg Saint Maurice. Trains ran from 1994 until November 2007 when services were transferred to London St Pancras International station via the new High Speed 1 Line (HS1) formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL).

Waterloo is the second busiest station on the London Underground Network, after King’s Cross St Pancras and is served by the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern (Charing Cross Branch) and Waterloo & City lines, and one of only two London Terminus stations without a close connection to the Circle Line, th other station being London Bridge.
