If you're planning a trip to London and want to be right at the centre of the action, Waterloo is hard to beat. Home to some of the capital's most iconic landmarks, a thriving arts scene, and some seriously good food and drink, it's a neighbourhood that rewards both the curious day-tripper and those settling in for a longer stay.

The South Bank is one of London's great urban walks, stretching along the Thames from Lambeth Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge. It's free, it's beautiful, and there's always something going on — street performers, pop-up food stalls, and some of the best views in the city.
The Southbank Centre is a cultural powerhouse, home to the Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery, and Queen Elizabeth Hall. Whether you're catching a classical concert or browsing an art exhibition, it's one of those places you can easily spend a whole afternoon in.
Waterloo punches well above its weight for culture. Tate Modern is one of the world's most visited modern art museums and is just a short stroll from Stow Away along the riverbank — and it's free to enter.
For theatre lovers, the National Theatre on the South Bank stages some of the best productions in the world. The Old Vic — a short walk from Stowaway Waterloo — is another legendary venue, known for bold and thought-provoking performances.
No visit to the area would be complete without a ride on the London Eye. The views across the capital from the top are genuinely spectacular, and it's just a short walk from the hotel. Nearby, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium and the ever-popular London Dungeon make great options if you're travelling with family or just fancy something a little different.
For film fans, the BFI IMAX is one of the best cinemas in the UK, with a screen size that has to be seen to be believed.
Just around the corner from Waterloo station lies one of London's more unexpected gems: Leake Street Arches. This network of tunnels beneath the railway is covered in ever-changing street art and is home to independent bars, restaurants, and creative spaces. It's a great spot for an evening out and offers a side of Waterloo that feels distinctly off the tourist trail.
You don't even need to leave the building for a great evening out. Unwined Waterloo, the resident wine bar on the ground floor of Stow Away, offers a carefully curated selection of wines from around the world, paired with seasonal menus prepared by guest chefs. Whether you're in for one glass or a full dinner, Unwined is the kind of neighbourhood spot that regulars return to again and again.
