Regeneration of Bankside
Following industrial decline after the Second World War Bankside remained largely derelict and neglected, until its recent renaissance as one of the capital's prime visitor destinations.
Undoubtedly, Bankside's revival in the late twentieth century centred around the reconstruction of The Globe Theatre not too far from The Globe's original site and the spectacular transformation of Bankside power station into the internationally acclaimed Tate Modern, offering a permanent exhibition space to contemporary masterpieces that the Tate was largely holding in storage.
