The reported origins of Blackfriars was first draw upon in 1317, It is believed that the names takes its meaning from the Black Frères from the French 'frère' meaning brother and originates from the black kappa worn by the Dominican Friars who relocated their priory from Holborn to the area between the River Thames and Ludgate Hill in 1276.

Edward I gave consent to rebuild London's city wall, which ran between the river and Ludgate Hill, around the priory area. The site was developed for great occasions of state, which included gatherings of Parliament and the Privy Council, and as the location for a divorce hearing in 1529 of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. The priory was eventually closed in 1538 during Henry's Dissolution of the monasteries.

Several of the buildings were subsequently leased to a group of entrepreneurs who created the Blackfriars Theatre on the site, not to far from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which was located almost directly across the river on the opposite embankment. In 1632, the Society of Apothecaries, a livery company, acquired the monastery's guesthouse and established their base there. The building was destroyed in the Great Fire of London but the Society rebuilt and Apothecaries Hall which can still be found in Blackfriars today.

The site is now the location of Blackfriars station, forming the northern bridge-head for both Blackfriars Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. Alongside the road bridge is Blackfriars Millennium Pier, a stop for river bus services on London River Services. The area was once serviced by a station south of the river called Blackfriars Bridge railway station, taking its name from the original Blackfriars Bridge. Unfortunately the station was closed to passengers in the late 19th century when the current Blackfriars station was opened.

The Victoria Embankment extends along the north bank of the river Thames west from Blackfriars to Westminster Bridge. There are many notable buildings in the area, maybe one of the most imposing and famed is the large Art Deco constructed Unilever House.
