Premier Inn London Waterloo

Waterloo is in Central London, on the South Bank of the River Thames, just across the river from the City and Westminster. It’s part of the London Borough of Lambeth and sits right in the heart of a lively area full of culture, food and riverside attractions.

Waterloo is famous for a few reasons. First, Waterloo Station is one of the city’s major transport hubs, connecting trains, tubes and buses across London and beyond. The area is also home to iconic landmarks like the London Eye, Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and the Southbank Centre.

Waterloo’s popularity comes from its mix of culture, dining and riverside fun. The South Bank walkway is a favourite for scenic walks, street performances and riverside bars. You’ve got world-class theatres, galleries, and markets like Borough Market all nearby. Its central location makes it easy to explore other parts of London too, so it’s a great base for tourists.

No, Waterloo isn’t a town—it’s a district of London. It’s urban, bustling and compact enough to explore on foot, but it forms part of one of the busiest and most vibrant areas in the city. You can wander from theatres to riverside walks, markets and galleries all within minutes.
