Millenium Bridge

Think Harry Potter, among other movies when you see this bridge! A fun walk across the modern steel structure provides a breath of fresh air and a change of pace. You’ll see memory locks attached to the bridge here and there from other visitors. The bridge is the shortest and most scenic connection between St. Paul’s Cathedral and Globe and Tate Modern Museum and a lot more fun than a taxi!
It can be windy and sometimes crowded, but the air is fresh and invigorating — especially when the bridge flexes with the breeze. Interesting and fun!

Another beautiful bridge to all across on London. It has a more simpler design but still a sight to see

One of the Top 5 bridges you should cross in London… it has by far the edgiest design out of any, and the path is dead center to St Paul’s Church location, making for some super photography (especially at the very end of the bridge in front of the Tate Modern, where it becomes split-​level).
Tip: it’s a crowded affair during the day… much better to go at night when it’s all lit up and pretty just like the skyline views you’ll witness. It’s an essential (and free) London attraction!

Visited March 2015: «Almost lost my umbrella»
When we finished at the Globe we started walking to the wibbly wobbly bridge, aka The Millennium Bridge, it started to rain. The wind got so strong that several people’s umbrellas were turned inside out. As we were walking across the bridge, it felt like you were either being carried away to your destination, or the wind was attempting to knock you over into the Thames. I took a picture of St Paul’s Cathedral which is on the North side of the Thames, literally lined up with the Millennium Bridge.

This bridge makes my knees go wobbly, I hate it. On the plus side it’s been in a Harry Potter movie so there’s that!

Walked across this bridge from the Tower of London to see Shakespeare’s globe a few days ago while staying in London. We had to walk across it of course because this bridge was featured heavily in the beginning of one of the last Harry Potter films.
It’s beautiful and a very convenient way to get across the river if you’re walking around in London and following the older fisherman river walk.
It gets pretty crowded and folks walk about 12 deep across and expect you to either disappear or jump over the side apparently in order not to run into them — so that was rather annoying — but otherwise you have a beautiful view of the Thames from the bridge and can see clear down to the Tower bridge from this vantage. The day we crossed the weather was perfect with clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds around 6pm so it was a gorgeous view of London from this location.

You can see it from the top of St Paul.
It’s an okay bridge, you can walk there from St. Paul’s to Tate modern

How does one review a bridge? Five stars as I made it from one side of the Thames to the other! One for the crowds stopping to take selfies every five feet.

The bridge itself is beautiful, and walking along it linked us from one touristy area (the Globe) to St. Paul’s on the other side.

It didn’t shake or sway! I’m glad that little problem was solved. Well, in order to get to St. Paul’s Cathedral from Tate Modern, this little crossing had to do. It’s just as breathtaking as I saw in the movies or travel documentaries. Londoners probably take it for granted (cause they’re so cool and all). Yep, the Millenium Bridge is the s***t, don’t you forget it.
There was also a guy selling delicious salted peanuts on the bridge, complementing me on the fact that I was a Miamian.

This is a pedestrian-​only bridge crossing the Thames. It links St Paul’s Cathedral on the north with the Tate Modern on the south. It is a great place for taking pictures of the city.

Very beautiful and modern bridge in London. So simplistic yet it makes quite the impact. I love London’s ability to mix the old and new. There weren’t as many visitors when I went to Millenium Bridge, and there were plenty of opens spots for pictures. A must see in London!

Fantastic pedestrian only bridge crossing the Thames River and connecting the Tate Modern w/​St. Paul’s Cathedral. Besides being all modern and cool and made out of steel — the walk across offers up spectacular views of east London, The Shard, and Tower Bridge. Take the walk, its worth it.

Iconic modern bridge leading to the tate modern museum. The view looking back is beautiful (not the way facing the tate museum, other way facing the cathedral lol). Def a place to stop and take a few pictures, the view is beautiful. Im not that into bridges so I don’t know much else about the bridge sorry lol. But I’m sure if you want to know more you can google and reseal and learn a little on it. I just know that its pretty modern bridge. Def a nice change up from a lot of the traditional old bridges you see in europe lol.

Everyone knows about St Pauls and Tate Modern, but the beautiful bridge that connects the two across the Thames is such an unexpected gem. I look forward to looking out over the Thames at night when these places are lit up, cuddled up to my boyfriend against the cold.

What a great walk. St Paul’s Cathedral north and the Tate Modern south, they’ve certainly created an iconic path over the RIver Thames. The people watching is also outstanding but it’s secondary to the multitude of views of the city and angles of the London Skyline. Modern and stylish but not overdone as to take away from the nature it is surrounded by

Just realized that the Millennium Bridge has two listings on Unilocal.So, I’m copying my other review onto this listing to. Here it is.
The Millenium Bridge is officially known as the London Millenium Footbridge. The bridge is not for cars. Only pedestrians may use the bridge which crosses over the River Thames.
On our first night in London, we happened to come across this bridge while exploring. It is a terrific place to stop and take pictures. The views are wonderful from here so make sure to have your camera with you. Got some terrific shots of St. Paul’s Cathedral from here.
There are plenty of joggers who use this bridge. Everytime they jogged by, you could really feel the movement on the bridge. After a little while, we grew accustomed to the movement though.
We were unable to cross the entire bridge because the rain started pouring. Maybe next time, we’ll get a chance to.

This bridge looks much cooler from afar than in person. From afar, it looked like one o those thin wire-​like bridges, but it is actually quite wide in proximity. One of the special thing about this bridge is that there is an artist that is turning all of the rubbish and gum on Millennium Bridge into artwork! This artist is literally transforming this bridge into an art by repainting those gum rubbish into tiny pieces of art on the bridge. Make sure to watch for it. From this bridge, you can get a great view of the London Bridge and the Tower Bridge.

On a way to Tate Modern, I discovered something really cool — Millennium Bridge.
It fits the mood when you going to see great modern art — since the bridge is a work of art on it’s own.
Opened in year 2000, this steel pedestrian bridge, with it sleek design lines, refined structure and unbeatable views of Thames is absolutely one of the places to put on your list to see in London.

Schöné Brücke über die Thamse

We walked back and forth on the Millenium Bridge three times during our last UK trip. On the first day, it was sunny and beautiful. We decided to go to Borough Market for a quick bite. Afterwards, we walked around and eventually crossed the Millenium Bridge. The view was spectacular. With the cool wind blowing, the light swaying of the bridge, and a full tummy, I could easily have fallen asleep on the bridge… just give me a cushion!
Several days later, we decided to visit the Tate Modern on the night it closes late (at 10 PM). We walked the Millenium Bridge… actually we first dashed across the bridge to Tate Modern and then after the museum closed, we did a nice, casual, relaxing stroll back across again. The chilled night, the quietness of our surroundings, and lights from nearby buildings, boats, attractions, made it a totally different ‘flavor’ walking across the bridge from our previous sunny day experience.

Une ballade agréable sur ce pont piéton qui offre une jolie perspective entre le Tate Museum et la cathédrale St Paul.

Einzigartige Brücke mit tollem Blick in bester Lage.
In der Gegend sollte man überhaupt viel am Ufer entlang laufen und die vielen Brücken genießen. Es gibt auch einen ausgeschilderten, oft ganz schmalen Fußgängerweg (s. Foto).

Tres belle oeuvre qui permet accessoirement de joindre Saint Paul au Tate

Ce pont suspendu réservé aux piétons relie la City à Southwark.
Il été inauguré en juin 2000 d’où son nom.

Oeuvre du grand architecte Foster, il est d’une grâce et d’une élégance inouies.
Je l’adore.
J’ai dû pourtant le traverser sous une quasi tempête en janvier 2009 pour me rendre au musée Tate Modern (voir photos)

J’ai pour ce pont pratiquement la même affection que pour le Pont des Arts à Paris, pourtant bien plus romantique.
C’est dire !

Vue sur St Paul, la City et Millennium bridge depuis Tate Modern.

Jo schoene bruecke (echt gut Design) und wackelt auch nicht mehr

Schön designte, moderne Brücke aus sehr viel Metall in der Nähe des Tate Modern. Auf jeden Fall ein Eyecatcher.

Schöné moderne Brücke, die als Gegenstück zur Tower-​Bridge da steht. Das Design spricht schon an und ist mal etwas anderes. Man sollte sie sich zumindest ansehen, wenn man in London ist, wobei man das wahrscheinlich nicht vermeiden kann.

Este puente peatonal cruza el rio Tamesis desde el Museo de arte moderno hacia la Catedral, esta situado muy alto sobre el rio y las vistas desde el centro del puente son una maravilla.

Schöné Fußgängerbrücke, auf der Achse von St. Paul’s Cathedral und Tate Modern. So gelangt man mit einem gemütlichen Spaziergang über die Themse von der Kunst des 18. Jahrhunderts zur Kunst der Gegenwart (oder auch umgekehrt) und kann dabei wunderbar über die Zeit und ihre Menschen nachdenken.
