The ongoing £800m engineering project will get the station ready for longer trains and provide space for 30% extra passengers during the busiest times of the day. Emergency services including police, paramedics and fire crews were called to the scene.
The station is usually one of the busiest in the UK with an average of 270,000 journeys made to and from it each day. Photos shared by passengers on social media suggest the passenger train had struck an engineering wagon.
Chris Denham, a spokesman for Network Rail, told the BBC the partially derailed train had blocked three of the platforms so only very limited services could run.
"If you don't have to travel to Waterloo today, please don't," he said.
South West Trains said there would be a very limited service running to and from Waterloo "which is expected for the rest of today".
Many of the trains running have been cancelled or are are stopping or starting short of the station, the rail operator said.
