The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset

Possibly the greatest pop song ever ...

... perhaps I am biased ... as a child, between 1964 and 1968, I lived in a pub called the Halfway House (now the Stage Door) in Webber Street SE1, within a stone's throw of Waterloo Station ...

The Stage Door, Webber Street SE1: In Samuel Pepys’ diary of 1665, he mentions drinking at a ‘Half-the-Way’ inn.  The tavern was probably the Halfway House, positioned exactly halfway between London Bridge and the Westminster crossing at Stangate.  The Halfway House lasted until 1985 when it was remodelled and renamed The Stage Door, presumably because of the neighbouring Old Vic theatre.

I found the above in a South Bank walking guide.  It's nice to think that I lived in one of Pepys's watering holes, but it definitely ain't halfway between London Bridge and Stangate.
