It is modern, beatiful and super dramatic. Everytime I cross it I get goosebumps. The view is magnificent and you have St. Paul's Cathedral on one side and the Tate Modern and Shakespeare globe on the other side. Have a stroll, stop by the middle, take a picture and enjoy the view, it will stay with you forever. Then go... More

Have always made this bridge a must do when visiting! The photo ops from early morn to dusk, evening are wonderful! The Shard, St Pauls, etc are beautifully lit up at night. The view from the South of Thames side back to St Pauls is amazing to see in person - a great visual effect. St Pauls to Southbank and... More

Crossed the Millennium Bridge on my way to the Tate Modern from St Paul's cathedral. Beautiful walk-one of the first warm spring like days. I could see everything in the City and the South Bank. You could even turn onto the River Bank path and have a picnic or continue walking. Highly recommended

If you want to take a nice walk in good weather, this is a good bridge. I recommend the walk from south to north as the view is a little better facing St. Paul's. It's an all-pedestrian bridge and if it had any rippling issues in the past they've been solved - it felt solid as a rock. It's open... More

To coin a phrase, there are great views from this bridge--the Tate Modern to the south, St. Paul's to the north. Otherwise, the main reason to recommend it is that it affords a quick way across the Thames and is pedestrian only, but that may be reason enough. Not a distinguished architectural feat, the Millenium's stability problems have been solved... More

The Millenium Bridge was built as a celibration of the year 2000. When it was opened, it was overwhelmed with people. This had not been anticipated, and the vast number of people started a mexican wave. This wave was actually felt by the people on the bridge, and gave several a severe scare. This led to the Londoner's nickname of... More

I was told that it is nicknamed the Wibbly-Wobbly bridge because of problem with the bridge when it first opened. However, I'm not sure that I'd ever say that walking across a bridge was an amazing experience. But if I did, going across this bridge would be it. Incredible views of St. Paul's Cathedral, as well as of the Tate... More

What can I say it is a bridge. There are some good photographic opportunities but this was difficult during the day in April when the schools are off and it is very busy. If you are in the area then fair enough give it a visit but I would not go out of my way to see it on its... More
