Natural Kitchen, Waterloo, SE1

A café/bar slotted into the station roof space, with a couple of tables and chairs on the balcony outside from which you can observe the concourse activity. Mostly used by people snacking or enjoying an overpriced cuppa, and a tiny bit more civilised than some of the other nearby bars. The staff were foreign and a bit inefficient, but they were pleasant enough. The food was not good quality, and there was no real ale as such, just force-fed Pride which was predictably tasteless. I refused to pay the service charge which was automatically added to my bill on principle. Fine for breakfast but not somewhere to go for a beer.

More of a whole-food restaurant and take-away outlet, but does also have a bar area at the back. Bright modern appearance in the sub-divided seating / dining areas on two slightly different levels, along with a row of tables 'outside' on the balcony overlooking the concourse. No real ales, but keg beers include London Pride and Black Cab stout from Fuller's.
