Here's what's happening behind the hoardings on platforms 1-4. New stairways are being constructed to provide extra pedestrian capacity for the introduction of longer trains on these platforms.
Perhaps you were wondering why it was snowing inside the station this morning...
Our 24 acre roof was built with ventilation gaps between the levels of glass panes. Rain doesn't normally get in but strong winds can blow a small amount of snow through the gaps.
The Landscape Photographer of the Year exhibition is back!
You can see the winning pics on the balcony level at Waterloo until 3 Feb 2019 and the exhibition will tour other stations later in the year.

Look out for our new coffee cup recycling bins.
Paper cups have a plastic lining so they need to be separated from other waste for recycling, where they are turned into new products including reusable cups.
Sip, Save and Recycle to help us reduce waste.

Hi Owen, reports of the poem's destruction are greatly exaggerated!
Our contractor is carefully working around the lettering to repair flaking paintwork. As per the licence agreement we've asked Sue to put her lettering artist in touch so we can restore any minor damage.
A long term closure of exit 6 at Waterloo station starts at 8pm today, in connection with redevelopment work on the office building next door.
Exit 5 will remain open for access to and from the South Bank, and we've decluttered the area outside to open up more space.

Hi Sue, we have a team of contractors working in the subway to restore areas of paint which are flaking. They are aware of the importance of preserving the artwork and they are working around the lettering to avoid damaging it wherever possible.
