Flat Iron are heading south of the river again, this time to Waterloo (taking over the space vacated by Byron). They've only recently opened further along the river close to London Bridge, and this new opening will be their tenth London restaurant (and its opening also happens to coincide with their tenth anniversary). 

It'll follow the same lines as the nine previous Flat Irons - so, offering affordable steak cuts

We've been fans of Philly cheesesteak masters Passyunk Avenue since they opened in Fitzrovia (and their delivery DIY kits are one of the best we've had - pic above) so the news that they're hoping to expand to Waterloo is welcome indeed. 

They've got their hands on a 3000ft space (much larger

Recently opened in Waterloo is With Love, a new not-for-profit cafe that, in their own words, is "a community-focused charitable enterprise that seeks to make a modest difference to the lives of local homeless people."

One of the first openings in the redeveloped Leake Street tunnels by Waterloo will be this Vietnamese restaurant and cocktail bar serving up noodles and Banh baos - their take on the traditional breakfast bun

Head down to the atmospheric underbelly of Waterloo to find the newest edition of Vault Festival 2018, complete with burlesque, mardi gras, and a whole heap of creative new street food courtesy of PopCo.

After a successful pop-up on Shaftsbury Avenue, and the cake that launched 1,000 Instagrams, Yamagoya is back for good, bringing ramen-shaped joy into the hearts and bellies of Londoners on The Cut (near Waterloo).

There are changes afoot at the Old Vic which is getting a bit of a refurb at the moment, and part of that means a change to the Pit Bar next door.
