Passengers, visitors and station users can now enjoy a taste of global gourmet dining at London Waterloo, as Jones the Grocer officially opens its doors on The Balcony at the station. The opening marks the brand’s second UK location and further strengthens Waterloo’s diverse food and beverage offer.
Founded in Australia in 1996, Jones the Grocer has built an international reputation for high-quality food, artisan ingredients and contemporary dining experiences. Today, the brand operates more than 50 locations across the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and India, combining café culture, restaurant dining, bakery, gourmet grocery and convenient grab-and-go options in one destination.
Located in the heart of Waterloo Station, the new venue has been designed to serve customers throughout the day, whether they’re starting their morning with freshly brewed artisan coffee, enjoying a leisurely lunch, meeting colleagues after work or picking up something delicious before catching a train.
The new opening offers an extensive menu of freshly prepared dishes inspired by global flavours, alongside a carefully curated selection of coffees, pastries, baked goods, wines, beers and cocktails. From breakfast and brunch through to evening dining and after-work drinks, Jones the Grocer provides a flexible, premium experience tailored to the needs of modern travellers and commuters.
Jones the Grocer is open daily, welcoming customers from 8am on Sundays and Mondays, and from 7am Tuesday through to Saturday. The venue remains open until 10pm every day.
The arrival of Jones the Grocer reflects our continued commitment to enhancing the customer experience across our managed stations by bringing innovative, high-quality operators to some of the country’s busiest transport hubs. As passenger expectations continue to evolve, we’re focused on creating stations that offer greater choice, convenience and quality throughout every journey.
