Blackfriars Useful Information
Blackfriars station, of course, takes its name from Blackfriars Bridge, an eighteenth century crossing itself named for Blackfriars Monastery, a Dominican Christian monastic building which used to stand nearby. At time of writing, Blackfriars London Underground station is closed for engineering works, so if you’re in the area, your best choice for method of transport is very likely an EC4 taxi from Blackfriars station (courtesy of Tick Tock Taxi’s instant online booking service, of course!)
If you are in the vicinity of Blackfriars station and looking for something to do, there are certainly plenty of options, especially if you are travelling by taxi in EC4 and therefore able to journey a little further afield. If you would like to watch a play, you are very near to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the reconstructed playhouse built in the twentieth century to the design of the much earlier seventeenth century theatre which had been destroyed by Puritan Christians. Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is lit by sunlight through its open roof, so plays are only performed during the summer months, but if you’re in the area at a colder, darker time of year, you are still nearby several other theatres easily reachable by a Blackfriars taxi, such as the Bridewell Theatre, home of the Tower Theatre Company.
You are also near several buildings of historical significance, including the enormous Saint Paul’s Cathedral, an Anglican Christian place of worship designed by the renowned architect Christopher Wren, which was London’s tallest building until the 1960s! Of perhaps less historical significance is the nearby Millennium Bridge, one of Prime Minister Tony Blair’s various architectural follies, famously closed for re-engineering very soon after opening due to its design causing violent swaying in the wind, which pedestrians apparently found quite unnerving!
There are plenty of other nearby attractions too: if you are in the mood for modern art, the world-famous Tate Modern Gallery is just the other side of the Millennium Bridge, featuring regular exhibitions and installations from cutting edge modern painters and sculptors, and also offers a boat service to take you along the River Thames to the Tate Britain if you’re more in the mood to view classic artworks. And of course, if a river-boat ride isn’t to your taste, the same journey can as easily be made by taxi; just enter your details above, and Tick Tock Taxi will istantly hook you up with the nearest, cheapest cab office!
