Visit to the Scooter Caffe and Lower Marsh, Waterloo on Tuesday 14 April 2026

Seventeen artists made their way to the Lower Marsh Road behind Waterloo Station, and the Scooter Cafe on the 14th April.   It was a bright sunny day and the majority decided to stay outside and sketch the many fascinating aspects of the road, which is charmingly unreconstructed by developers.  A few, however, spent the day in the dark interior of the equally enticing Scooter Caffe, mainly sketching the antique Lambretta, (or possibly it was a Vespa), and consuming the specialty coffees and hot chocolates on offer.  

We had lunch outside on the street tables, but had it been wet there were many cafes offering food.  A pedestrianised street, we enjoyed the largely total absence of traffic.    Lower Marsh offers much for the artist, from graffiti, painted buildings, market stalls, people, as well as the eclectically decorated Scooter Caffe, as far removed from international airport lounge decor as it is possible to be.     Altogether a location to return to in the future.  

Please enjoy our artwork.
