‘Waterloo Sunset’, the famous song by Ray Davies of The Kinks, celebrates the view from Waterloo bridge - a place that offers one of the best views in London.
Well-known for its cluster of theatres and cultural establishments, the riverside has been refurbished and revitalized considerably in recent times (and, indeed ongoing work continues at the Royal Festival Hall). Lower Marsh conservation area to the south east of Waterloo Station has a historic street market as well as many shops and restaurants.
