Area Guide by Estate Agents in South Bank SE1
Southbank is an area steeped in history, architecture and culture
The South Bank is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood known for its arts and culture scene, stunning river views, and popular tourist attractions. It is a highly sought-after area for both buyers and renters.
Originally isolated and defined by the River Thames, this riverside location developed in a very different way from the affluent North bank. It was a marshy expanse of slum housing and country estates; a rural haven of green fields and pleasure gardens; a dynamic hub of industry and manufacturing; a nucleus of 19th-century theatre and entertainment venues; a host to the most extensive railway terminus in the country; and a byword for post-war cultural restoration.
It is now famous for its lively, eclectic and vibrant art and entertainment scene brought in by the initial skate park enthusiasts nearly 5 decades ago. It is home to important national centres for art and culture, a vibrant and growing community, and some of London’s finest architectural achievements, such as the iconic London Eye which glows blue like a giant floating doughnut at night, TATE Modern, Shakespeare's Globe, National Theatre which becomes the world’s largest crimson building block and the Millennium Bridge is transformed into a space-age bladed walkway. The atmosphere is relaxed and bohemian and you are never far from its quirky eateries, fascinating art galleries, and concert halls.
The properties in the South Bank are as diverse as its culture. The area has a mix of traditional and modern properties, including everything from historic warehouses to luxury apartments.
