Walk London's "Wobbly Bridge," the slender pedestrian link between the City and Bankside. Cross the flat, level span at sunset for framed views of St Paul's dome, Tower Bridge downriver, and Tate Modern's industrial silhouette ahead.
Reasons to go
Full description
Opened in 2000 to mark the millennium, the Millennium Bridge earned its nickname after an unexpected sway forced its closure for modifications just days after launch, and it has since settled into its role as one of the best pedestrian links across the Thames, framing St Paul's dome at one end and the industrial bulk of Tate Modern at the other. Reviewers with a 4.6 rating single out sunset crossings for the light on Tower Bridge downriver, and its flat, level, low-intensity walk makes it accessible to virtually anyone.
It's a natural connector between the City and Bankside rather than a destination in itself, best worked into a longer riverside walk.

Reviews
Millennium Bridge is such a cool and iconic spot to visit in London! The views are absolutely beautiful, especially looking toward St. Paul’s Cathedral on one side and the Tate Modern on the other. It’s easy to walk across, very clean, and such a fun way to take in the city from the river. Definitely worth a stop,…
