Bankside, an area loosely defined along the south bank of the River Thames in the London borough of Southwark, is also the name of a street within the district. Situated between Blackfriars Bridge to the west and London Bridge to the east, this street more or less delineates the extent of the Bankside region. To the west of Bankside lies South Bank, an area culturally rich and home to various cultural institutions and notable sites. Modern day Bankside boasts a plethora of attractions, including a reconstruction of The Golden Hinde, Sir Francis Drake’s ship, the renowned Tate Modern, and the Millennium Bridge — a footbridge connecting the Tate with the City of London on the north bank. The Globe, a popular tourist attraction, is perhaps only beaten by the conversion of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s Bankside power station into the very popular Tate Modern art gallery by Swiss architects Herzog and De Meuron.
