The trendy Waterloo Bar and Grill overlooks the Old Vic and is slowly becoming the favoured destination for theatre goers, while its proximity to the famed station is an added bonus. Contemporary and stylish with its use of dark, brooding colours and low lighting, the effect is sultry and sophisticated.

Since they serve breakfast all day, you could saunter in for a late petit dejeuner that is either continental, English or the WB special. Starters of pan fried tiger prawns with red pepper coulis and lobster oil could lead on to the more substantial fillet mignon of pork served with herb sauce and braised red cabbage. Do try the berry crumble with vanilla ice cream for the interesting mingling of its textures and tastes. The international wine list is extensive and offers a number of champagnes, reds and whites to suit your taste and a spirited cocktail list is there to assist those who prefer their alcohol rocket assisted.
