The new London Blackfriars station
We are building a new landmark for London - the first railway station to span the Thames
London Blackfriars station handles millions of passengers every year. Our landmark new station will provide a better interchange between national rail and London Underground services and make London's Bankside and South Bank tourist areas much more accessible to passengers.
