It's the only London station that has two postcodes. Blackfriars spans the Thames, with one entrance on Bankside (SE1), and the other in the City (EC4V).

Besides the views, Blackfriars Railway Bridge is most notable for its roof of solar panels — the largest on a bridge anywhere in the world and enough to generate about half the station's energy needs

Hiking

The 'Secret' Entrance:

Did you know it's possible to get all the way down to the northern riverside without walking along any roads? To find it, get off the train and head north, but don't go down the escalators. Instead, carry on and bear right to find the upper-exit onto Queen Victoria Street. This route takes you onto some dirty old walkways built into an old BT office building. Follow them round and you'll reach a spiral ramp that curls down to the riverside
