Blackfriars Road runs between St George’s Circus at the southern end and Blackfriars Bridge over the River Thames at the northern end, leading to the City of London.
Originally known as Surrey Street, the road was built in the 1760s as the southern approach to Blackfriars Bridge. It was laid out by the bridge surveyor, Robert Mylne.
From 2010, a number of major development schemes have transformed Blackfriars Road with new buildings replacing the post World War II offices with residential and hotel accommodation.
