Blackfriars railway station in central London is on First Capital Connect's Thameslink route. It's also on on the Southeastern route via Peckham Rye, but the platforms for those trains have recently been demolished as part of rebuilding work, and the route merged with the Thameslink. In fact, most of the station has been demolished, giving it a nice open air-feel in good weather.
What's immediately outside the station? The currently closed Blackfriars Undergound station (again, because of those building works). A long walk to Mansion House or Temple stations for the Tube. There's also a new temporary exit to the riverside walk.
What will be immediately outside the station when the works are complete? The South Bank, since Blackfriars will be the first station to stretch across the full width of the Thames, with exits on both banks.
