One Blackfriars is a 50-storey residential skyscraper at 1 Blackfriars Road, beside the River Thames in London. Its curved, reflective exterior gives it a distinctive profile, easy to spot from Blackfriars Bridge. The building is mainly residential, so the most practical way to see it is from outside; its apartments are not a general visitor attraction. Look for the shifting reflections on the façade and the tower’s unusual silhouette against the surrounding skyline.
