The SS Windrush docked at Tilbury on 22 June 1948 with 802 people from the Caribbean. The BBC says so. Tilbury is on the Fenchurch Steet line, which does not pass Waterloo at any time. Maybe the monument is going on tour or maybe the artist insisted that it was somewhere people actually passed through. Waterloo is still the busiest passenger terminus in the UK by long stretch.
That's not why I like this photograph. I like it because of the people around the monument. I don't usually do people in my photographs, and it's something I want to change.
Having been to Tilbury, I can quite understand this decision
