Nestled within the bustling Waterloo Station, Cabin offers a sophisticated yet inviting escape for travelers and locals alike. This stylish lounge and restaurant seamlessly blend the charm of a first-class lounge with the vibrant energy of London's transport hub. With its plush armchairs, elegant decor, and a prime location overlooking the station concourse, Cabin is the perfect spot to unwind, indulge, and soak in the lively atmosphere of one of London's busiest stations.

Cabin is renowned for its thoughtfully curated menu that caters to both breakfast aficionados and those seeking a refined dining experience. The menu features standout dishes like a hearty Full English breakfast, with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and grilled tomatoes that burst with flavor. For a lighter option, the smoked salmon and eggs dish offers a delicate balance of smoky richness and creamy textures. The drinks list complements the culinary offerings with a selection of fine wines, expertly poured cocktails, and craft beers, making it an ideal spot for a pre-train drink or a leisurely meal.

Located at Upper Concourse, Waterloo Station, London, Cabin offers unparalleled convenience for travelers. Its prime position means you can enjoy a relaxing meal or drink while watching the hustle and bustle of the station. Nearby attractions include the historic South Bank, home to the London Eye, Tate Modern, and the Royal Festival Hall, all within a short walk. Whether you're catching a train or exploring London's cultural hotspots, Cabin provides a perfect pit stop.

After seeing Carluccio's packed to the rafters with suits this morning and this place like a grave yard, I decided to take a browse at the menu...

It was a toss up between Eggs and Salmon or the Full English. Thinking I may be able to blag this one on expenses I thought what the heck. I decided to risk it for a biscuit and see what £10.95 of Full English looks like, In I went.

I was warmly greeted and it felt great to be the first customer of the day! I almost felt like I should have won some award or something. Anyway, I enquired how long the Full English would take and decided to take 2. (Although I could happy destroy 2 with my appetite, one was for my colleague who was yet to arrive). 

I spent the first 5 minutes playing musical chairs deciding where to sit as I had the run of the place. I perched my bum on a good 6 or 7 seats. I decided the balcony view the station that I connect in most days, and what can be quite a stressful ordeal sometimes was not the best place to spend my pre-meeting chill out/preparation time. So opted for these rather large granny style armchairs at the back of the bar away from the hustle and bustle of the station.

After taking a few MINUTES of sitting back taking some what I tried but failed to be arty pictures of a relatively boring inanimate object (the coffee cup) and visioning myself as the boss of a large corporation in my grand chair looking over my work force, the baddie out of Inspector Gadget with the cat that nobody sees and also the lord of a mighty castle looking over the grounds of a country estate. My colleague turned up to talk business.

The service was great and as promised synchronised to perfection with the arrival of my colleague.. (Score me) 15 minutes had passed and the breakfast was presented. The table did make for a quite awkward eating position. I'd gone from Mafia boss in his armchair of destruction to baby in a high chair trying to get my carrots onto a plastic spoon.

The food looked great, we had two eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, crispy bacon, pork sausage, baked beans and toast. It tasted how it looked. Totally my mistake but I forgot to ask for brown sauce because I was too busy tucking into the delicious flavors. I barely had time to breathe let alone ask for sauce.

The prices here are obviously inflated due to its location and pound for pound you can get a much better deal elsewhere. However I can't really fault it and as my company will eventually end up paying for it. Then the overall experience was great and worthy of the tip that the credit card machine so eloquently asked for when paying.

Next time if I have time I'm going to take the train to Clapham Junction and walk up to Jacks at the Junction. Still my number one Breakfast Joint!

Good wine list and friendly staff- also a great place to people watch, if you get a seat overlooking the station concourse.Heaters over some seats for those icy winter evenings. If you absolutely have to hang about in the station for an extended period, you could do a lot worse.

One slight issue- there is no loo on the premises, so you in the event of requiring one, you may need to sidle into the neighbouring Carluccio's.

The Cabin is one of the newer additions to Waterloo station, having set up shop just before the Olympics once the renovations were completed. I believe it's an offshoot from the Corney & Barrow wine bar group given that a) it was predominantly a wine bar, and b) I spotted some Corney & Barrow logos around the place.

It has the feel of a posh first class lounge in the way that it's all glitzed up and seating takes the form of large arm chairs arranged in twos and threes around the bar. There are a couple of larger tables at the back but you have to be quick to snag them - and pulling up an extra seat is a near impossible task. 

The wine selection is pretty decent, as one would expect, but a few things annoyed me. First, the small selection of harder alcohols in the centre of the bar was hard to make out and very limited. I did manage to snag a bit of the Monkey Shoulder to satisfy my whiskey craving without having to settle for a double of Jack (regular Jack at that...not even the Gentleman version). They don't have a cocktail menu and a request to suggest a cocktail they could make was met with a blank stare. I will note they have an electic beer selection that will make those who prefer a small brewery lager happy, so it's not all bad.

The other things to be wary are that this place is open to the station and can get a bit noisy and very cold. Also, if you find yourself in need of a bathroom break, you need to leg it to the other side of the station (and bring 30p) where the public toilets are as the Cabin has no facilities of its own.

All in all, if you find yourself waiting for a train and in need of a comfy seat and a glass of wine, the Cabin is perfect for you. If you are looking for a place to drink to start the night, try any of the pubs around the station which will be a much better fit.

The only thing going for this bar is that fact that you can people watch in Waterloo station. 

The pours and wine selection are what you would expect. 

Not fancy, but a good place to stop into for a quick one.

i was heading out to surrey, and myself and my travelling companions had some time before our train. waterloo has just opened a new upstairs area, and the cabin is one of the new places up here. being a wine lover, and a wine bar lover too, we decided to check this place out.

it's hard not to compare it to the champagne bar at st pancras, which obviously fills a similar hole. surrey is not as lovely to travel to as paris, alas. i actually like the decor in here a lot better than the champagne bar in st pancras, i thought it was tastefully done, so in terms of decor and atmosphere, it's pretty okay.

the wait staff seemed bored out of their trees! the dude serving us could not be bothered at all, which is really off putting. the prices are also very high, even for london, so that was a bit disappointing.

i definitely wouldn't rush back here, especially given that the service was really not on par with the prices, but i would consider again if i needed to kill some time at waterloo.

This has to be one of the best station bars around (apart from the York Tap). I had some time to kill before heading to The Old Vic, so I popped in here whilst I waited for my wife. I didn't fancy a beer and so ordered a whisky sour. I wasn't necessarily expecting too much, but it was expertly made, certainly one of the better whisky sours I've had in London.
