Trains to the south-west
South Western Railway runs from Waterloo to Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and the West Country, including Southampton for cruise ships and Portsmouth for ferries. It's one of the busiest stations in the country, and a good place to arrive early.
By Tube or by car
Northern line trains from High Barnet on the Charing Cross branch reach Waterloo directly, but it's a long ride and trains on the Bank branch mean a change. By car it's about 12 miles, usually 50 to 65 minutes, and your driver drops you at the entrance.
Congestion Charge
Waterloo sits within the Congestion Charge zone. We'll tell you whether the charge is included when we confirm your fare.
Late trains home
Getting into Waterloo late? Tell us the train and a car will be outside to take you home to Friern Barnet, North Finchley or anywhere in our area.
