Does anyone know what is happening at the memorial arch entrance to
Waterloo please? About 3/4 of the width is now hidden behind hoardings
and looking through the windows they seem to be digging deep into the
fabric.

Often thought that it is a shame that the entrance is so hemmed in .
It could compare favourably with some of the more well known stations
around the world if you could actually stand back and approach it from
further away.

I think the work is actually to make such a view possible - the
redevelopment of Elizabeth House is allowing the creation of "Victory
Arch Square" in front of the station:
