Why South Bank?
Always evolving
Stretching along the southern bank of the River Thames, directly across the water from Westminster and Covent Garden, South Bank seamlessly bridges history and modernity. This was once London’s powerhouse with the Bankside Power Station supplying electricity to the city. Today, that historic building houses Tate Modern, a symbol of the area’s transition into a cultural and commercial hub, and South Bank’s emergence as the home of good taste.
