Where the name comes from
Named after Waterloo main-line station; the area around it, once Lambeth Marsh, became known as Waterloo after the station opened in 1848. The nearby Waterloo Bridge was named to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Worth knowing: The Waterloo & City line, which opened here in 1898, is nicknamed "The Drain".
