    Reminds me of a cleaner Union Station in Washington DC. There are lots of fast-casual restaurants and stands providing a wide variety of dining options. There are also a considerable numbers of retail shops in here, as well. National rail and underground trains can both be caught at this station. This station is also a short walk from the London Eye, Jubilee Gardens, and the Waterloo Pier.

    12/5/2018:  I YELPED THIS PHOTO before returning to Waterloo Station.

    12/5/2018: I exited the Bakerloo Line, i.e., "The Tube's" platform . . . I'm so pleased discovering there are escalators taking you to the street level, i.e., awesome . . . I see a Starbucks at the top of escalators upon arrival to the main street level; surprisingly discovering a hub-bub of frantic commuters scurrying here, zipping there-I'm feeling like I'm an offensive football linebacker trying to get to Starbucks: I buy my traditional peppermint-laced, coffee fix-awesome x 2=Mission completed! HOWEVER . . . dot, dot, dot-I come to a screeching, grinding holt holding my Starbuck's coffee in hand with my mouth gaping in one of the uttermost, shocking experiences globetrotting thus far AND this is right up there with Singapore's Mustafa Shopping Center's toilet in the floor, gross-me-out, kind of shock: You know I would have given FOUR STARS for Waterloo Station BUT, the Ladies' loo surely was an egregious turn-off discovering I must shell out, dole out EXACT CHANGE while I'm prancing about ready having an "almost accident," btw~TMI-if, you get my drift! Not having exact change and I, being so blessed-a TFL Maintenance Man~my Angel (with my hands melded together) opened the gate for me so, I may scurry to off to one of the loos . . . AHHHHHHhhh~I almost didn't make it! Worse-I only had PAPER UK CURRENCY in my possession: I wonder how many weary globetrotters jumped the loos' gate in order, using the loos? Absolutely obtusely inhumane, i.e., an incredulous discovery! I was so miffed, I sent the photos and that one video I took of the loos to fellow actress, @Alyssa_Milano so, she can see the folly I experienced! Waaaaah! Alright-Enough ragging about the loos. Anyway, I decided I wanted exploring what's shops have opened conducting their daily, retail business at Waterloo Station-walkabout bumbling begins! As I mentioned previously, Starbucks, Costa-a fellow Yelper took a photo of the Eiffel Tower holding a Costa coffee cup (I remember photos), Boots~a quasi-pharmacy similar to Walgreens/Rite-Aid/CVS for my fellow Americans' FYI, there are quite a few established restaurants, and low and behold~my favorite retail shop, i.e., LUSH-yes, yes, YES!!!!! Looking up at the Waterloo Station's billboard . . . WHY CAN'T ELEPHANT & CASTLE HAVE A SMALL DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE DISPLAY LIKE WATERLOO STATION, EH, TFL? I noticed a sign direction for the London Eye. Hmmmm~Which way do I go? I see off in the distance, Exit 6 is closed due to construction so, I exit out of Exit 5; however, I read Exit 3 is "step-free" which is cool. I walk down Exit 5's long flight of steps leading out to the hustle and bustle of taxi cabs, a plethora of busses, honking horns, flashing traffic lights-a total visual and auditory overload, indeed! Precariously and carefully crossing the streets was definitely nerve-racking being sordidly mindful UK drivers drive on the RIGHT side of the road via my experiences allowing, trusting Fixx's lead guitarist, Jamie West-Oram driving my brother, Albert's Ford Fiesta through Garland, Texas decades ago . . . Almost got into a car accident giving me heart failure and extreme duress-Thanks, Jamie . . . Anyway, I successfully and safely leave the hustle and bustle behind me . . . Out of the corner of my left eye, I catch a glimpse of the London Eye! "GARGANTUAN!," I screamed at the top of my lungs! Waterloo Station: I docked one star for the egregious loos and subtract one star for all the steps exiting/entering Waterloo Station plus, noting the sketchy, exterior, shopping center returning to Waterloo Station at night! Seriously, where are the Bobbies patrolling this area during night time, eh?

    A rare sight - London Waterloo main entrance in the snow!

    Ahh, Vauxhall. I cannot decide whether I love or hate you…read more Vauxhall is great in that it serves both an overground service (into Waterloo, out to Clapham Junction, Wimbledon and off out to Surrey), and underground (Victoria Line). There is also a bus station here so there are at least some alternatives if your journey is scuppered by defective trains. It's within walking distance of Oval station, Pimlico station, and is just a short bus ride to Victoria. There always seems to be roadworks or some kind of construction works going on here and the station is a nightmare if you're running late for your train as they always seem to block off exactly the path you need to get to your platform. Still... I use this station to go home and see the family so it serves me well!

    This entry covers the Train Station, Underground Station and Bus Station which are all really…read moreseparate, albeit integrated, entities. The Train station has recently undergone works to install lifts to all platforms and to the subway which leads to the Underground and to the other side of the Vauxhall Cross Gyratory. This has made a massive difference to the accessibility of the station but many issues remain: the platforms are still not level with trains so people with mobility problems, especially wheelchair users, will still require assistance. Also, the underground station itself still has no lifts. The bus station on the other hand is excellent, well designed with striking architecture and copes well with the large number of buses serving it, it is also able to accomodate modern, accessible buses.

    I like this train station - it's easily accessible via the Tube, has a lot of trains that depart…read morefairly frequently and a lot of kiosks to buy your ticket. I've never had to wait in line to buy a ticket at the machines. The screens are large and pretty clear to help you figure out what train to take, and you can see all the different platforms. There are a lot of shops in this station to buy food - including Pret-a-Manger if you want a salad for something healthy. There's also Upper Crust or places to get coffee or a Boots if you need to pick up something there. You don't have to walk too far to get to the Tube, which is nice and the place has a lot of natural sunlight. The station is pretty, and they even have a Christmas tree during the holidays. All in all, a fine station to take the train and it's pretty centrally located. It's close to Borough Market too, which is nice if you want a good selection of food before or after your train gets in.

    Large train station with over 20 tracks. Can be confusing for switch tracks go where, so ask…read moresomeone or arrange extra time before your departure :-) The mobile app can be "funky" on US mobile phones. I had to connect to local WiFi to buy tickets. Otherwise use machines in the terminal. Beware that the +20 tracks are CNN located on the far side. You must have a ticket to enter any of tracks.
