What to do in Waterloo
While the area is home to some of London’s most iconic landmarks, Waterloo is also home to some of London’s best hidden treasures, away from all the hustle and bustle.
Discover some of the hidden treasures put together by our team below:
Mercato Metropolitano
Situated in a former paper factory, Mercato Metropolitano is one of London’s largest undercover outdoor areas serving authentic street food from over 40 vendors. We suggest walking around and trying as many samples as you can.
Paladar
Paladar is a vibrant Latin American restaurant serving 100% gluten-free food and cocktails inspired by the flavours of Central and South America.
The Pineapple
For those looking for a taste of Ireland near our hotel, head to The Pineapple, where they serve only traditional Guinness.
Mr Charcoal
If you are a fan of Chinese food, we suggest taking a 5 minute walk and heading to Mr Charcoal, a Chinese restaurant with a menu specialising in Northeastern Chinese dishes that are rich in taste.
Toulouse Lautrec
Take a 20 minute walk, and you’ll be transported back to 1920s Paris at Toulouse Lautrec, a two-floor art deco brasserie, serving classic French dishes with live music.
Duke of Sussex
Duke Of Sussex serves delicious pub food and drinks in the heart of Waterloo. The food is freshly prepared daily with ingredients sourced from local suppliers. We recommend their fish & chips.
Lower Marsh Market
Open Monday to Friday from 11 – 15 & on Saturday from 10 – 17, Lower Marsh Market is a bustling street market offering international food. Walking along the market, you will find the aromas in the air too irresistible to try something.
Old Vic Theatre
The Old Vic was founded over 200 years ago and is still putting on world-class shows. The Theatre mixes emerging talent with household names. For 2025, Rami Malek will be starring in Oedipus.
