A new underground food market is coming to Waterloo
Briefly

The undercrofts under Waterloo Bridge, currently dark and uninviting, are set for transformation as Lambeth Council leases the space to Thrale Investments. The plan includes a vibrant food market with bars and event spaces, capable of accommodating 1,200 people. Expected phased opening starts Christmas 2025 and lasting for at least a decade. This initiative aims to improve the cultural vibe in Waterloo, providing better lighting and signage in the area to reduce anti-social behavior, making it more welcoming for both residents and visitors.
The underpasses beneath Waterloo Bridge will soon transform from dark, smelly pathways into a vibrant food market, revitalizing the area and enhancing public experience.
Councillor Marcia Cameron emphasized that improving underused areas like the undercrofts will create cultural spaces and bolster Waterloo's late-night economy.
Thrale Investments, known for successful projects in Hackney, will develop the space into a food market capable of accommodating 1,200 visitors by Christmas 2025.
The upcoming changes promise better lighting and signage to reduce anti-social behavior at night and create a more welcoming ambiance for residents and visitors.
