More about Waterloo Road

Greater London, England

Waterloo Road sits right in the heart of Southwark and has never been short of a gig or a market stall to see on a Friday night. The Coin Street venue has been hosting local bands for years without missing a beat, while pop-up markets spring up near the river when the weather permits. It is a place where you can walk from one event to another without needing a map or a satellite phone. There are plenty of reasons to head down there before tea time, whether it is a street performance or a community workshop. We keep all the local listings in one spot so you do not waste time hunting for details on a dozen different sites. Come along and see what your neighbours have been up to this week.
