6 Blackfriars has a new confidence and appeal as a place to live and work. Two-wheel friendly Improvements to Blackfriars Road will include a new 4 metre wide cycle superhighway which runs from Elephant & Castle to King s Cross, linking key areas of regeneration. The new cycle superhighway will cost 10 million. The name game Blackfriars station was called St Pauls station when it opened in 1886, and renamed as Blackfriars in 1937 to avoid confusion with St Paul s Underground station. Part of a designated Opportunity Area, it is the focus of major investment in homes, offices and infrastructure. Serious money 6.5 million is being invested in the Thameslink system with Blackfriars at its heart. This regeneration has been spurred by the completion of the new Bankside entrance to Blackfriars station, which provides easier access to south-of-the river highlights such as Tate Modern and Shakespeare s Globe. Just a short distance away, things are looking up for Elephant & Castle too. This part of London is seeing its shopping centre revitalised, complementing its range of existing and planned shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Priming the market Property experts are now including Blackfriars as part of high-value prime central London, the first time an area south of the Thames has been named as such. 8 THE RESIDENCE BLACKFRIARS THE RESIDENCE BLACKFRIARS 9

7 A tonic for the nation This was the idea behind the 1951 Festival of Britain, which kick-started the building of a cultural quarter on the south side of the Thames. The Royal Festival Hall is the only building to survive from this era. South of the river, centre of culture Southwark and Bankside together prove a serious rival to the West End as London s cultural heartland. Southbank Centre London s vibrant cultural quarter, bringing together the Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery and the Queen Elizabeth Hall. The National Theatre and BFI Southbank are its near neighbours. Eye on London Since it opened in March 2000, The London Eye has given millions of people one of London s best views. Esteemed architect Sir Richard Rogers said: The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris. Visitor magnet This area is a creative and youthful quarter where the emphasis is firmly on originality and fun. As well as theatres, famous buildings, galleries, boutiques and restaurants, many creative and media businesses are setting up home in SE1, fuelling the fashionable vibe.

8 Dining and shopping, the individual approach The range of restaurants, pubs and bars within walking distance of The Residence Blackfriars reflects the area s cosmopolitan, cultured vibe. There s everything from Turkish to Peruvian, traditional fish and chips to Sunday roasts, riverside pubs to smart cocktail bars, while the spectacular eighth floor restaurant, bar and brasserie at the OXO Tower is the stylish choice for a truly special meal. SE1 also has countless places to indulge your coffee habit, many of them quirky one-off cafés. The individual approach also applies to shopping, because the local streets are full of retailers unlike any other. They include the shops at OXO Tower Wharf and Gabriel s Wharf, where you will find a selection of unique jewellery, furniture, accessories, ceramics, artwork and lighting to give an original touch to your home or your outfit. When you re shopping for food, you don t have to rely on the supermarkets.
