Millennium Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Millennium Bridge is a steel suspension foot bridge that links Bankside with the City.

It initially opened in June, 2000, but pedestrians experienced an alarming swaying motion on its opening day, the bridge was subsequently closed for almost two years so that modifications and repairs could be made to keep the bridge stable and stop the swaying motion. It reopened in February 2002.

The bridge provides a clear view of St Paul's south facade, framed by the bridge support.
