Bankside is a district in the London Borough of Southwark. It is positioned around the southern bank of the River Thames, 1.5 miles east of Charing Cross. It is a part of the business improvement district called Better Bankside. Bankside is the riverside of the former liberties of the Clink and Paris Garden. Through the Elizabethan period, these places 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 good deal of regeneration in recent years, becoming popular with vacationers. 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 within the district. The 3 buildings house around 5,000 staff. Bankside 1 is also referred to as the Blue Fin Building and is partially occupied by IPC Media, whilst Bankside Two and 3 are occupied by the Omnicom Group Ltd. From 2010, a lot of improvement schemes have transformed Blackfriars Road from the bridge to 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, specially at the junction with Stamford Street where numerous high rises happen to be constructed.
