No. It's on the other side of the former London & South-Western Railway main line from Waterloo Station.
Whilst in this neck of the woods, Oasis Waterloo used to work quite closely (and I hope still does) with the local Anglican parish of St John the Evangelist (at the southern end of Waterloo Bridge, and restored after severe bomb damage to be the *Festival of Britain Church* in 1951).
I used to attend St John's weekday lunchtime Eucharist many years ago, and AFAIK the church still has as inclusive and diverse a congregation as it had then. Mostly local on Sundays, AIUI!
Lambeth is blessed with a number of liberal and inclusive Anglican churches...
As opposed to the like of St Magnus the Martyr? ( or is that t’other side of the river)?
Yes, St Magnus is somewhat further to the east (where lies Rome - let the reader understand!), on the other side of the river, at the City, or northern, end of London Bridge. and opposite the large railway station also known as London Bridge.
There are quite a few liberal and inclusive churches in the City of London, too, as well as some that might not be quite so described...
I'm labouring a point here, I suspect. but it's simply to say that Oasis Waterloo, for all its good points (and they are Legion) is not the only similar church. They are to be found both within and without the Church of England.

Our Australian parish's first benefactor came from a family long linked to St Magnus, the Child family of whom the actor Jeremy Child is a scion. The irony is that William's last will and testament made a final bequest to the parish so long as none of the popish tendencies were allowed to infiltrate worship.
I don't buy that people aren't going because they don't like the churches on offer ... They don't go for the same reason I don't go and play tennis - because it's not something they feel any need or desire to do.
I think that is the crucial point. The danger is that the churches then market themselves as "offering something that people need", distorting and commodifying the Gospel message in the process.
Well, sure.
How do sell people a solution unless you can convince them there’s a problem in the first place?

There's a rather large railway station district named after a world changing battle in 1815?
There we go.
