The Windrush Commemoration Committee, Set Up by the government last year, will work with designers of The Monument on the "next steps over the coming months".
Mrs May said: "This monument will be a lasting legacy to the tremendous contribution the Windrush generation and their children have made to our great country. "
Baroness Floella Benjamin , chair of the Windrush Commemoration Committee, said: "Having a Windrush monument located at Waterloo Station where thousands of Windrush pioneers - including children like Myself - First arrived in London, will be a Symbolic Link to our past as we celebrate our future. "
