@hettie_w_small @networkrail @NetworkRailSE Hi Matthew, the trainshed roof above the platforms was refurbished in 2001-2003. We're now refurbishing the concourse roof and roadway canopies.

[Network Rail @networkrail]

🎬 We're repairing London Waterloo’s 100 year-old roof.

The roof that covers the station's concourse was rebuilt in 1922. We're replacing the glazing to make it safe and reliable for the long term:

London Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations will close for 22 days this summer to allow the South Eastern Railway to deliver a £20 million programme of essential railway upgrades.

The closure will run from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 16 August 2026, plus some weekends either side, and will allow railway engineers to replace nearly two kilometres of 36-year-old track, rebuild sections of platform at Charing Cross, upgrade track drainage systems and carry out structural repairs to both the Waterloo East to London Waterloo pedestrian link bridge and the Hungerford Bridge, which takes the railway over the Thames to Charing Cross.

The investment will modernise the infrastructure on one of the most important sections of the network, helping to deliver an even safer and more reliable @Se_Railway

Due to popular demand, we have additional dates to take in an immersive walking tour of @LondonWaterloo as we celebrate rail’s remarkable past, its role today and its importance for a sustainable future.

Opened in 1848 and once described as being for 'a better class of commuter’ this tour in and around Waterloo Station reveals the stories behind not one but seven stations and from one, The Station of the Dead, there were no return journeys!

Discover links to the past including the station’s role during two World Wars, artwork from the 1951 Festival of Britain, luxury restaurants, contemporary public art and numerous cinematic associations including a news cinema, TV lounge and iconic film locations.
