Waterloo is served by four Tube lines, three of them in the game: the Bakerloo, Jubilee and Northern lines. The fourth is the Waterloo & City line to Bank, which runs Mondays to Fridays only. As of 2024 it was the most used station on the London Underground.

The three ticket halls

The Main Ticket Hall is beneath the railway concourse. The Colonnade, or Jubilee line, ticket hall is on Waterloo Road and opened in 1999. The York Road ticket hall is on York Road, in the Southbank Place development. A moving walkway links part of the station, and there is access to Waterloo East railway station.

The London Eye

The nearest Underground station to the London Eye is Waterloo, although Charing Cross, Embankment and Westminster are also within easy walking distance. The wheel is 135 metres tall, with 32 sealed capsules that each hold up to 25 people, and one revolution takes about 30 minutes. It opened ceremonially on 31 December 1999 and to the public on 9 March 2000, after a problem with a capsule clutch.

The South Bank

The station is near the South Bank of the Thames. County Hall, the Southbank Centre, the Old Vic and Westminster Bridge are all sights the game shows for it.
