Waterlooville is a town in Hampshire, England, approximately 8 miles north of Portsmouth. The town is surrounded by Purbrook, Blendworth, Cowplain, Lovedean, Clanfield, Catherington, Crookhorn, Denmead, Hambledon, Horndean and Widley. It forms part of the South Hampshire conurbation. The town formed around the old A3 London to Portsmouth road. Waterlooville is twinned with Maurepas, Yvelines in France and Henstedt-Ulzburg in Germany.
The main shopping precinct is served by First Hampshire & Dorset bus routes 7/X7, 8, The X9 route has been discontinued and replaced by the D1 and D2 service which runs from Hambledon and Denmead and goes to Waterlooville town centre, and Stagecoach South services 37 and 39. The A3 Bus Corridor priority route (constructed between 2003–2007) serves the town. As of 2006, the shopping precinct is closed to all road traffic other than buses.
The nearest train station is located in Bedhampton and is on the main train route between London and Portsmouth. For a time, South West Trains provided a direct bus link to Petersfield railway station via Horndean, enabling quick access to fast London-bound trains, but now the link to Petersfield is Stagecoach service 37 via Clanfield. Havant railway station is served by Stagecoach service 39, and stations in Portsmouth by First services 7/X7, 8 and X9. For westbound trains the station at Cosham, served by the local bus services, is on the line between Portsmouth and Fareham, with regular trains to Southampton and Cardiff.
According to local legend, many of them settled there. There is no proof of this assertion. The pub was thereafter renamed in their honour and the area around the pub became known as Waterlooville. The original Heroes pub was at a crossroads near the main bus-stop. It was demolished in 1966 and replaced with a bank; a new pub took the same name and is located at the northern end of the shopping precinct.
Near the town centre is the rebuilt St George's church. During the 1950s and 1960s the surrounding area saw extensive growth in housing, when large suburban public and private housing estates were constructed. This resulted in the original Victorian church failing to cope with the population growth. Plans for a new church were started and in 1970 the new church was built on the site of the old church. Parts of the old church were retained.

HISTORY of SWAN UPPING
Swan Upping is the annual census of the swan population on stretches of the river Thames in the home counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
This year's Swan Upping begins on Monday 21 July 2013, departing from Sunbury Lock, in Surrey, and ending at the end of the week in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, on Friday 25 July. The Swan Uppers moor their chartered Thames Skiffs, on Eton College School rafts, adjacent to boathouse19 in Eton. We ask our guests to watch over the boats overnight, to then witness an early morning start, on the Journey to Cookham, in Buckinghampshire the following day. Their route passes Staines, Windsor and Eton, Maidenhead, Cliveden House, Cookham, Bourne end, Henley on Thames, Marow, Wargrave, Sonning, Hambledon and Reading,
This historic ceremony dates back nearly eight hundred years from the twelth century, when the Crown claimed ownership of all the mute swans.
At that time swans were regarded as a delicious dish for dinner at Royal banquets and feasts, and were again used recently, in a special wedding banquet by Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal wedding in 2011. It is against the law in England to eat Swans if you are only a commoner.
