The Cut is a street in Lambeth and Southwark, London. It runs between Waterloo Road (west) and Blackfriars Road (east). At the western end to the south is the well-established Old Vic Theatre and half way along on the north side is the more experimental Young Vic. Opposite the Young Vic is Short Street which leads on to Ufford Street. Southwark College is to the south. At the eastern end on the north side is Southwark tube station.

Opposite this is The Ring public house, above which is a boxing gymnasium. It is here that the Marquess of Queensberry allegedly wrote the modern rules for the sport of boxing[citation needed].

There are many good local restaurants in the street.[1]

The road forms part of the B300. To the southwest is Baylis Road and to the east is Union Street. It was previously called the New Cut.
