Best places to live for commuting to Waterloo

Waterloo brings together routes from towns with different station arrangements and different ways into central London. This shortlist is for exploring those options, not a promise that every place has a through train to Waterloo. We name a train time only when a recorded leg confirms the boarding station, Waterloo as the rail alighting station and the leg duration. Other journeys may include a change or another mode, and the time on a card cannot stand in for the complete commute. Check the station you can reach, the services at your travelling hours and the onward walk.
