Everything about Waterloo Road London totally explained
Waterloo Road is a road straddling
Lambeth and
Southwark,
London,
SE1. It runs between
Westminster Bridge Road close to
St George's Circus at the south-east end and
Waterloo Bridge across the
River Thames towards London's
West End district at the north-west end.
At the northern end near the river are the
Queen Elizabeth Hall and the
Hayward Gallery to the west, the
National Film Theatre below the road, and the
Royal National Theatre to the east. In earlier times, this was the location of
Cuper's Gardens.
Just to the south in the middle of a large
roundabout with underground walkways is the
British Film Institute (BFI)
London IMAX Cinema. Nearby to the east is the
James Clerk Maxwell Building of
King's College London, named in honour of the physicist
James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), who was a professor at the college from 1860.
A little further to the south is
St. John's Waterloo
church, built in 1824 to celebrate the victory of the
Napoleonic Wars. The church was firebombed in 1940 and much of the interior was destroyed. It was restored and reopened in 1951, serving as the parish church for the
Festival of Britain on the
South Bank nearby.
Continuing south, to the west is
Waterloo Station and its
Eurostar terminal. To the east is the
Union Jack Club in Sandell Street and, further on, the well-known and historic
Old Vic Theatre to the south of the corner with
The Cut. Also located even further south in Waterloo Road on the west side is the headquarters of the
London Ambulance Service. On the opposite side is 157 Partnership House, former headquarters of
USPG,
CMS and other church mission/community-based organisations. Now boarded up and ready for an exciting redevelopment.
The road is designated as the
A301, which continues across Waterloo Bridge.
