What is particularly appealing about Waterloo Millenium Green is not only the fact it is a peaceful park in what is otherwise quite a busy area, but also because it has some wonderful permanent statues (check out the huge beetle sculpture and other animals – very ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids). The closest green space and park to Waterloo Station, Waterloo Millenium Green is a 1 minute walk away from the rear station entrance so a perfect spot to catch some rays or take your food from the station, if you are waiting for a train. You may still encounter a small queue (especially in the summer) but it’ll be a lot less than the general admission line.īOOK IT: The London Eye Ticket with Fast-Track Option > The London Eye is around a 5 minute walk from Waterloo Station.ĬK Travels Waterloo Tip – book your timed London Eye tickets in advance to avoid queuing for walk-up tickets.

Plus there are also classes you can book and take part in.
On most occasions we’ve visited (particularly at weekends), you’ll see graffiti artists and spray painters at work. This also means the street art changes regularly so there is something new to see every time you return.
The longest legal street art area in the capital, Leake Street Arches is an awesome, creative area in Waterloo where burgeoning and established street artists can spray to their heart’s content.
