Bankside Yards East is a transformative mixed-use precinct on London’s South Bank, reconnecting a once-fragmented site between the Tate Modern, Blackfriars Station, and the River Thames. The masterplan restores urban permeability through three key pedestrian axes, weaving a north–south promenade, an east–west cultural spine, and a fine-grain network of laneways and squares.
At its core is the adaptive reuse of 14 Victorian railway arches, reimagined as a vibrant public plinth housing retail, cultural, and hospitality tenancies—grounding the development in its industrial heritage.
The scheme includes five distinct buildings accommodating residential, hotel, office, and retail uses. Each form responds individually to context, use, and orientation, creating a varied and articulated skyline. The residential towers offer a mix of private and affordable homes with generous amenity spaces and curated river views, while a luxury hotel tower anchors the site, combining hospitality and branded residences.
Materiality shifts from robust, textured street-level treatments to refined contemporary façades above, integrating terraces and setbacks to soften mass and support a dynamic public realm.
