Transport for London has partnered with Southwark Council, City of London, Better Bankside and leading residential and mixed-use developer Native Land along with specialist contractor McGee to create an outdoor gallery space on the Ludgate development site hoardings by the southern side of Blackfriars Bridge.
The area adjacent to Rennie Gardens has been transformed into a temporary gallery space where passers-by and the local community can enjoy artworks by local artists. The eight artworks, which were selected by a panel including local residents and stakeholders such as Tate Modern, serve to add a touch of colour to the site hoardings and the street.
Each work of art interprets the theme of ‘construction’ in a unique way and was sponsored by a construction company or supplier, with proceeds going directly to a charity of their choice. All the project partners, artists and local residents came together to launch the gallery on the 10 October and people will able to enjoy the artwork until December.

An urban sanctuary - Arbor’s optimised design creates 45% less carbon dioxide in the building’s operation - equivalent to 52 return flights from London to New York every year.

Samovar, a new large-scale sculpture by Berlin-based artist collective @slavsandtatars, has recently been installed at the @hayward.gallery. Taking the form of an oversized inflatable water boiler, teapot and serving tray, the sculpture reflects on the multicultural and colonial histories of tea. See it outside the Hayward Gallery, just around the corner from Bankside Yards, until 14 November.

#BeyondBoundariesBankside is a new series of art installation around the Bankside area. @bankside_ london have collaborated with @tatecollective to bring five new artworks made by five emerging artists to animate the streets and spaces of the surrounding area.
This artwork is by @visser.ml and is called ‘Gastro Gusto’. The artwork invites us to think about the connection between food and community. The work explores the body - and public space - and creates an opportunity to eat, meet and reconnect with others.

Last week we celebrated the topping out of Arbor, a major new office building for London and the first building to come through at Bankside Yards. This marks a major milestone and an exciting step in the development of the UK’s first fossil-fuel free major mixed-use development.
Hosted by the contractor @multiplexconstruction, we were joined by the wider project teams for the formal topping out ceremony, providing the perfect opportunity for everyone to come together to celebrate this achievement.
Designed with occupier wellness in mind, Arbor’s workspace will offer floor-to-ceiling windows, open-air terraces, and high ceilings. The energy-efficient technology used across the development will be executed on an unprecedented scale and ensure the building operates without the use of fossil fuels.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this landmark occasion.

#BeyondBoundariesBankside is a celebration of the character and creativity of our neighbourhood, inspiring people to reconnect with art and each other. Each artist was invited to produce a new commission by @bankside_london that responds to lockdown, the easing of restrictions and to create site-specific works informed by local #bankside stories.
This artwork is by @hanecdote and is called ‘He(art) is everywhere’. It is a real celebration of the character and creativity of Bankside. The series of motifs are dedicated to local history and take a deep look at the people and trades that have existed in the area.
