About Blackfriars

Blackfriars occupies prime Thames-side territory between the City and Southwark, named after the medieval Dominican friars who once lived here. The A201 Blackfriars Road and A3211 Queen Victoria Street provide the main driving routes, though you'll pay Congestion Charge and ULEZ fees. The transport hub handles commuter traffic from across south London and longer journeys from Surrey via the A3. Standing on Blackfriars Bridge, you can simultaneously see both the ultra-modern Shard and the ancient Tower of London.
