Waterloo in popular culture
Because of its pivotal role in European and world history, the Battle of Waterloo has a prominent place in military history and is frequently mentioned in popular culture.
==Commemorative memorials and places==
:''For a comprehensive list of places named Waterloo see Waterloo (disambiguation).''
There are many memorials and places named after the battle; perhaps the most famous is Waterloo station in London. In the 1990s, after Waterloo station was chosen as the British terminus for the Eurostar train service, Florent Longuepée, a municipal councillor in Paris, wrote to the British Prime Minister requesting that the station be renamed, because he said it was upsetting for the French to be reminded of Napoleon's defeat when they arrived in London by Eurostar.〔(UK Waterloo insult to French visitors ) BBC website November 6, 1998〕
