Easy to navigate station with standard facilities and great connection to the Underground. Main sights in walking distance especially Southbank with the food market and great exhibitions.
Don't bother with the tube if you're going across the river to Strand/Trafalgar Square. Take a walk through the South Bank and across the Hungerford bridge. It doesn't take much longer and it's free!
The ATMs by WH Smith get busy. Try the ones down the escalators by the Waterloo Road exit, the ones by Lush (if you can stand the smell) or the ones in the bureau de change.
Instead of getting the tube to Charing Cross or Embankment, try the walk across the river via the footbridge. Great views of London and good break from being underground.
There are now two M&S stores at Waterloo. The one nearest Starbucks is smaller and more for quick, small snacks, and sandwiches. The one near Costa is bigger, and better!

For Surrey leave from low number platforms, with local trains in a loop 'clockwise' back to the high number platforms. For Berkshire leave from high numbers with local journeys reversed
Huge train station. very busy. You'll find access to the trains and Underground on the ground floor, and more restaurant based shops on the first floor.
Want to view the departure boards, but don't like crowds? Escaping up to the retailbalcony will give a good view of the boards, without the need to continuously dodge passers by.
Arrive on time the trains are normally very punctual. There are lots of fast food restaurants such as mcdonalds, burger king and wassabi. They can be very handy
Big and busy and connects SWR and underground trains. Lots of f&b and a decent M&S and Boots there as well... little chaotic so have your train time and platform info ready in advance to avoid stress
There are a number of places to dine or simply buy some drinks. If you are looking for a cheap place to buy some food or bottle drinks, there is M&S simply food or WhistleStop towards the platform 1.
Do you remember when you could fly and dream and talk with dragons and bathe in moonlight while moon-ravens sang lullabies? Don't let anyone halt your creativity. Your life, your heart, your mind.
The transformation of this station in the last 30 years is amazing! And there's more ro come. It still retains many of the original features alongside the modern architecture.
The Eurostar terminal had been located at Waterloo Internationla Station on 2F, now no longer in use, since the Channel Tunnel Rail Link line was built and the terminal moved to St Pancras in 2007.
The girls at the Moma stall near platform 18 are always smiling and offer good banter. Try the mango/banana muesliyoghurt. Delicious and healthy. Energised all morning.
There's now loads of Cycle Hire bikes right outside the entrance. Give them a go! For much of Central London it's quicker than getting down to the tube and back up again.
If you haven't exited via these before, take your ticket back to open them."London terminals" includes going by train from Waterloo East (upstairs) to Charing Cross or London Bridge with that ticket
Overground self service ticket machines are upstairs. Underground ticket machines are downstairs. You cannot purchase overground rail tickets downstairs with the ticket machines.
