Millennium Bridge

Bridge London, England, United Kingdom

What to expect

The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, England. It links the City of London and St Paul's Cathedral to the north with the Globe Theatre and Tate Modern on Bankside. The bridge has a uniquely thin profile, forming a slender arc across the water, and offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the city. Its design is the result of a collaboration between architecture, art, and engineering, and it has become a key element in London's pedestrian infrastructure. The bridge is 325 meters long and 4 meters wide, with a shallow suspension design that allows for a clear view of St Paul's south façade from across the river
