Pretty cool bridge that leads a direct path to St. Paul's Cathedral! Really neat bridge and very scenic view of the city. There was someone painting over all the gum that had been spit on the bridge which was a very neat way of cleaning up the city

The millennium bridge has a nice view to offer, as you can see the shard, Tate modern art gallery, St Paul's cathedral and London Bridge. I recommend coming here at night as the lights of London's skyscrapers is a very nice view.

GORGEOUS pedestrian bridge across the Thames. On one side it reaches Tate Modern, on the other St. Paul’s Cathedral, giving you mind-blowing views of London.

Not sure how helpful is for Londoners, but it certainly gives tourist good photo background.

Very cool steel (suspension) pedestrian bridge that stretches from St Pauls/City to directly in front of the Tate Modern on the Southbank. It was originally nicknamed the Wobbly Bridge (see bottom of review).

The bridge itself is cool but so are the views from either side of the bridge as you cross it as well as back towards the City. You’ll get great photos from here and a real perspective of modern London with its shiny ultra-modern buildings v old traditional London.

It was originally nicknamed the Wobbly Bridge since when it opened it was popular with up to 2000 people on the bridge at a time. The people then felt it begin to sway and feeling unsteady altered their gait to match the rhythm of the bridge …this magnified the sway and the more people adjusted the more the bridge swayed! Whilst it was reported nothing would break/fall, the design engineers felt the wobble had to stop for people to feel safe and shock absorber devices were fitted.

I have wanted to see this bridge for a very long time It is a very busy bridge with commuters and tourists.
I like how when you get to one end you have to walk around and back through the centre to get off the bridge down to the path below. and how there is a metal grate over that area that is partially going over the river which is fun to walk over.
You can see a lot of well known buildings from this bridge like tower bridge,the shard and st Paul's cathedral which st Paul's cathedral lines up great with the bridge.

Potterheads! Heads-up this a place you wanna visit.

It was used a shot in the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Do visit it, take a walk and enjoy the cool breeze of the Thames River.

Suggestions
1. Visit at night to get amazing views of London at night as you walk on a peaceful bridge.
2. Visit for the summer time break to get some cool breeze but not winter cold.
3. Club you visit to this bridge with something like visiting the St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower Bridge.

How can one not cross this bridge? I suppose, go find another one, but they will not give the views that this one has. St Paul's to the North. Tate Modern to the South. As far as you can see the majestic river Thames, East and West with all the skyline in between. It's free to cross. It's full of fresh air. There is no rush. DO IT.

The views from the bridge are spectacular any time of the day or night. Looking back at St Paul's from the Tate Modern just works so well. This part of London is surrounded by the old vs new. So much to see and do in just a short walk in any direction.
