Bankside is a district of London, England, and part of the London Borough of Southwark. It is situated on the South Bank of the River Thames, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Charing Cross. Because of its location outside the jurisdiction of the City of London, the area developed as a location for activities and entertainment that were prohibited, and was the location of the Globe Theatre. It has experienced regeneration in recent decades, becoming a significant tourist destination, and forms a business improvement district. The skyline of Bankside is dominated by the former Bankside Power Station, which now houses the Tate Modern.
