The Wellington Hotel

In the heart of Waterloo exactly opposite the Waterloo mainline station, you cannot miss the grand pub that is The Wellington Hotel. This rustic masterpiece is just as superb on the inside, where guests are greeted with a plush interior of historical resonance, stained glass skylights, comfy leather seating and wood paneling. This is a prime setting to enjoy traditional British home-made dishes - morning, noon and night, and a variety of snacks and nibbles, all perfectly washed down with seasonal cask ales and a range of world wines and premium lagers.

The Waterloo Hotel boasts a spacious dining area with two bars and a range of seating, and for those looking for overnight accommodation, there are 26 cosy guest bedrooms upstairs. With bar games and ample big TV screens, The Wellington is also a great choice for catching all the latest sporting action and having a laugh with your mates, but there's no doubt you'll be tempted to pop in most evenings on the way home from work for a cheeky pint.
