The closest mainline station is [[Blackfriars station|Blackfriars]] via its new south entrance. Nearby underground stations include [[Southwark tube station|Southwark]], as well as [[St Paul's tube station|St Paul's]] and [[Mansion House tube station|Mansion House]] north of the river which can be reached via the [[Millennium Bridge (London)|Millennium Bridge]]. The lampposts between Southwark tube station and Tate Modern are painted orange to show pedestrian visitors the route.

There is also a [[Thames Clippers|riverboat]] pier just outside the gallery called [[Bankside Pier]], with connections to the [[London Docklands|Docklands]] and [[Greenwich]] via regular passenger boat services (commuter service) and the Tate to Tate service, which connects Tate Modern with Tate Britain.

To the west of Tate Modern is an area currently under redevelopment following the demolitions of Ludgate House, the former headquarters of [[Express Newspapers]] and [[Sampson House]], a massive late [[Brutalist]] office building.
