One Blackfriars is a mixed-use development at No. 1 Blackfriars Road in Bankside, London. It is informally known as The Vase or The Boomerang due to its shape.

The development is made up of a 50-storey tower of a maximum height of 166.3 m (546 ft) and two smaller buildings of six and four storeys respectively.[1][3] Uses include residential flats, a hotel and retail. In addition, a new public space will be created. The site was formerly occupied by the headquarters of Sainsbury's supermarket.
