The undercroft space near Waterloo station is set to be redeveloped into a thriving food court, event area, and bar capable of hosting about 1,200 visitors. Currently underutilized and known for its unsavory reputation, it will also include public toilets. The redevelopment, started by Lambeth Council after acquiring the area in 2021, aims to enhance Waterloo's cultural appeal and local economy as part of a broader Nighttime Strategy, with improvements like better lighting to address anti-social behavior, projected to last approximately a decade.
The undercroft venues are expected to be opened in phases from Christmas 2025.
We're moving forward with plans to improve the wider Waterloo area, transforming this cultural hub into a more accessible, welcoming, and thriving space.
This will help expand Waterloo's vibrant late-night scene and support the local economy by creating new cultural spaces.
These changes will help reduce anti-social behaviour, particularly at night, and enhance the overall experience for both residents and visitors.
