The song was actually written about Liverpool and was originally called 'Liverpool Sunset' because Ray Davies loved Livepool and wanted to do a Merseybeat song. He changed it because Penny Lane was released around the same time and it would have seemed like it was copying. There is of course a Waterloo in Liverpool.
@Ellieboo Really? All I have ever heard is Ray's love for London, so who is right or wrong? Of course he may have a love for Liverpool, who doesn't, but the song is not about Liverpool, it is about Waterloo, London.

@Ellieboo It is what it is, Ray is a Londoner, he adores London especially his patch.

@delia17601 it is what it is. He wrote it about Liverpool originally and has given interviews about how much he loves Liverpool. Get over it, love!
