Not always, although at Waterloo it depends somewhat on where you are going next and whether the exit half way along the platforms is open. (even then you can still be scuppered if your train parks behind another one).

It's not essential. How about the Bree Louise near Euston, before it's knocked down for HS2? It's a very nice little pub...
