Historic Timeline
1607
The first recorded frost fair on the River Thames. There were football pitches, bowling matches, fruit sellers, shoemakers, barbers... and even a pub or two.
1760
Blackfriars Bridge opens, the first bridge across the Thames at this location was completed to pioneering designs by Robert Mylne, the Edinburgh-born engineer and architect.
1860
The London, Chatham and Dover Railway Company contracted Joseph Cubitt and others in 1860 to design and build a new railway station to connect southern counties with the City of London – Blackfriars Bridge – which opened in 1864.
1891
The Bankside Power Station supplied electricity from 1891 to 1981. Originally a coal-fired power station until a new more efficient and less polluting oil-fired plant was built between 1947 and 1963.
2020
Construction is underway to restore and connect the lost intersection between the South Bank and Bankside for the first time in 150 years.
1864
The brick arches that stood underneath the tracks were all that remained after Blackfriars Bridge and Goods Depot was demolished in 1864. The arches were closed off and deralict from this date.
2024
The 14 grand arches will be transformed as part of the regeneration of the River Thames South Bank. And will be home to a carfeully curated set of independent restaurants, bars and retail.
