PLP Architecture is working with Native Land to create Bankside Yards, a vibrant new destination on London’s riverside between the Tate Modern and Southbank Centre.

Last night, Bankside Yards, Eastern Yards received full planning consent. It is comprised of 5 towers housing 341 residential units (with 37 affordable homes), a luxury hotel, office and cultural amenities along with a series of public spaces.

The full £1bn development will open up and will reinvigorate a 1.4m ft2 area focussed on the historic railway viaduct leading towards Blackfriars Station. Construction is underway on Western Yards, with completion expected in 2023.
