Waterloo East Community Walkabout
South Bank and Waterloo Sustains US are inviting residents, businesses and community partners to join them for a Waterloo East Community Walkabout tomorrow, Wednesday 10 December 2025, from 10.00 to 11.30am. They will meet outside Costa Coffee, 42–48 The Cut, London SE1 8LP.
The walkabout is the first step in shaping plans to make Waterloo East greener, healthier and better prepared for the heavier rainfall and surface water flooding linked to climate change. By working together, we can create streets that manage rainwater naturally, support wildlife and feel more welcoming for everyone who uses them.
