The obvious choice might be a great British boozer if you’re only passing through and want a taste of the local culture. With plenty of pubs around we’ve gathered up a whole host of places above that fit the bill for a comforting feast of classics or make the perfect place to enjoy a rich roast dinner and custard-covered pud.
Feeling fancier than fish and chips? It happens to the best of us. Despair not, as we also have a raft of restaurants that are fitting for all kinds of get togethers that require a little something special. Just a short stroll up towards the river you’ll find the renowned restaurant of Skylon and a few minutes further along the waterfront to the east you’ll uncover the delights of Sea Containers, a decidedly modern seafood spot with a regularly changing menu of best-of-British produce celebrated in each dish. If you’re not often in London and decide you deserve a treat (you always deserve a treat) then Seabird at the top of the Hoxton hotel packs a real punch with its beautifully decked out roof terrace, complete with plush soft furnishings and little shell-topped tables – the perfect place for a few drinks and some bar snacks from the Portuguese menu on a sunny day.
The wonderful thing about restaurants near Waterloo is that there truly is something for everyone. Dare we suggest exploring this little pocket of London one eatery at a time and making it your mission to find your own personal favourite from the selection above.
