Blackfriars sits right at the junction of the City and the South Bank, which makes it one of London’s more interesting postcodes to move in or out of. You’ve got the old, narrow streets around Printing House Square and New Bridge Street on the north side, high-rise residential towers on the south, and a working railway bridge cutting straight through. The residential market here is almost entirely flats, ranging from older ex-commercial conversions in EC4 to striking new-build towers with full concierge services. We move people in this pocket of central London all the time, and we know what to expect.
Local team, fast reply, no obligation.
Blackfriars sits within the City of London and London Borough of Southwark, split by the Thames. Most of the residential properties on the north side are in converted commercial buildings, many of them former newspaper offices and printing works from Fleet Street’s publishing days. These properties often have service entrances, loading bays, or goods lifts with time restrictions. The new-build towers on the Southwark side, around Blackfriars Road and the South Bank, have concierge teams and scheduled goods lift windows that need to be booked in advance.
According to HM Land Registry, EC4 residential properties consistently rank among the highest-value in London, with converted city buildings typically trading above the wider central London average. Most people moving to or from Blackfriars are professionals with decent furniture and a lot of books. The ONS 2021 Census noted that the City of London remains one of the most transient residential areas in England, with a high proportion of short-term occupants and frequent household moves. Our crew brings blankets for every piece of furniture, wardrobe cartons for clothing, and double-walled boxes for everything else. We also handle City of London moves under the same careful approach.
Parking near Blackfriars is almost entirely restricted or metered. We arrange suspensions or confirm loading bay access ahead of move day to avoid any last-minute issues. Call 020 4525 2039 for a free quote.
