Blackfriars Circus SE1

Blackfriars Circus is a contemporary development with over 330 modern apartments occupying a large plot of land bordered by Blackfriars Road and Borough Road, London SE1. Completed in 2017 and 2018, Blackfriars Circus is a brand-new neighbourhood in a historic district south of the South Bank, halfway between the Thames and Elephant and Castle.

Its elegant, brick clad frontage extends along the leafy Blackfriars Road with the southernmost building facing St George’s Circus, from which wide metropolitan roads lead to various river crossings connecting the south east with Westminster and the City of London. The robust and playful facade of Blackfriars Circus conceals two secluded public courtyards and an intricate inner atrium, all quietly tucked away from the two busy bordering roads.

Designed by the award winning Maccreanor Lavington architects and developed by Barratt Homes, Blackfriars Circus is the Brick Award 2018 winner, and has been shortlisted for the prestigious RIBA London Award 2020.

Blackfriars Circus Apartments

Five buildings form Blackfriars Circus totalling over 300 apartments and comprising substantial office and retail space.

Well planned, generously sized and light, the apartments feature full height windows, custom made open-plan kitchens extending through to the winter garden, terrace or balcony space.
