Windsor to Waterloo
No station
or platform changes to make
London's Waterloo Station is to the south
of the river, adjacent to the London Eye, The South Bank Arts
Centre and Festival Hall. This link will show you precisely where
From Windsor and Eton Riverside Station
the train will take you straight to Waterloo, albeit rather more
slowly than the Paddington service. However, Waterloo is more
central than Paddington and this service may be more convenient
for the City of London, and certainly is better for the South
Bank complex, Royal Festival Hall and London Eye.
Journey time Windsor - Waterloo. 50 - 55
minutes. Several stops. Train passes mainly to the north of the
river through Staines as far as Richmond, thereafter south via
Clapham Junction, among others, to Waterloo, on the South Bank
of the Thames in London.
