The company supported the commissioning of ‘Poured Lines’, the artwork that runs the length of the southern wall of the westerly bridge over Southwark Street. This, along with new lighting and an enhanced cleaning regime, has significantly improved a previously intimidating environment.

Responding to the lack of 'sitting-out places', Better Bankside purchased 300 folding seats and 30 tables in its distinctive corporate ‘pink’. These appear on a daily basis in front of Tate Modern, in the gardens of Southwark Cathedral and in Cathedral Square on Montague Close, as well as at significant local events. They have also been loaned to member companies.

Working with several key partners, the group has commissioned ‘The Bankside Urban Park’ to identify ways in which the quality of the area’s public realm could be raised over the next three years.  It has  also consulted on possible solutions to the problems of rubbish dumping and waste removal in the streets around the Borough Market.
