As much as we’d all love to not have to get up early in the morning to go to work, sometimes it is an inevitability. If you have to be in the office extra early one day then it means dragging yourself out of bed at an obscene hour, throwing some clothes on and rushing out of the house to get to the station. Often, this results in us missing our breakfast (the most important meal of the day) and arriving at the station extra early for our train (we set off early anticipating rush hour traffic but end up getting there early because such traffic is nonexistent). So we are stuck at the train station much earlier than anticipating with our stomachs rumbling.

There is therefore no better time to try the breakfast at Waterloo Station. There are numerous cafes within the station which do a roaring trade in the breakfasts that they serve every morning. There is a wide variety of foods to choose from – you can have a quick sausage sandwich or tuck into a full English breakfast if the time allows. There are even healthy options on offer now (the myth of the greasy cafe long since dispelled) with toast or even fruit now being an option. All of this can be washed down with a pot of tea or a refreshing cup of coffee or even an array of fruit juices. It’s almost worth getting up that little bit earlier every day to ensure that you have the best possible meal to start your day!
