Waterloo tube station

Waterloo station stands beneath the main railway terminus in central London. It is the busiest stop on the Underground, with over seventy-seven million users each year. Four lines meet here: Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern and Waterloo & City. The station lies in fare zone one, close to the Thames and near the London Eye. The first Underground line opened here in 1898, run by the Waterloo & City Railway. Later additions included the Bakerloo line in 1906 and the Northern line in 1926. In the 1990s the Jubilee line was extended, adding a long moving walkway to link platforms. A bronze elephant sculpture by Kendra Haste now stands between the escalators in the Colonnade Ticket Hall. Visitors find three ticket halls and five main entrances. The Main Ticket Hall sits under the railway concourse, while the Colonnade Ticket Hall opens onto Waterloo Road. A third hall on York Road was rebuilt in 2019. Escalators, passageways and the moving walkway connect them to the platforms below.
