I was looking at the transport services offered in waterloo. The first image in the sequence shows the main road network that runs through waterloo. It also shows public car parks. Car ownership in this area is comparatively low. waterloo is inside the congestion charge zone and also has great public transport services, causing the reduced use of cars, which benefits the area. You can see how well the area is served by public transport from the 2nd and 3rd images. the second shows the location of bus stops in waterloo. There aren't really any areas that you could say were not served by a nearby bus stop. The most obvious transport associated with waterloo is the train station. This is one of london's main stations and is a huge part of the area's character. As well as waterloo and waterloo east, the area is also served by southwark and lambeth north tube stations, increasing transport links to and from the area.
The fourth image shows the proposed cross river tram route. This is a new transport link connecting Euston and Waterloo, with branches to Camden Town and King's Cross in the north, and Brixton and Peckham in the south. This will further reduce congestion in the area and add another attractive transport service to waterloo.
