Bankside is a district in the London Borough of Southwark. It is positioned on the southern bank of the River Thames, 2.4 km east of Charing Cross. It’s a part of the business improvement district called Better Bankside. Bankside is the riverside of the former liberties of the Clink and Paris Garden. During the Elizabethan period, these regions were out of the City of London’s jurisdiction so they became the homes of bear baiting pits and playhouses, such as the Rose, the Swan and the Globe Theatre. There has been a lot of regeneration in current years, becoming well-liked with tourists. The skyline of Bankside is accentuated by the former Bankside Power Station, which is now the Tate Modern. The Bankside 1/2/3 complex on Southwark Street is the most important new development in the district. The 3 buildings house around 5,000 personnel. Bankside 1 is also referred to as the Blue Fin Building and is partially occupied by IPC Media, whilst Bankside Two and Three are occupied by the Omnicom Group Ltd. From 2010, several improvement schemes have transformed Blackfriars Road from the bridge towards the south at St. George’s Circus and new buildings stand in place of post-World War II offices. These buildings are residential and hotel accommodation along its length, especially at the junction with Stamford Street where numerous high rises have been built.
