The Millennium Bridge spans the Thames River and is located near Tate Modern on one side, to Peter's Hill, leading to St. Paul's Cathedral on the other side. The bridge is a suspension bridge, but doesn't use tall support columns, but instead uses lateral supports. The bridge was a result of a competition and it was opened by the Queen in June 2000. If you look closely you'll see tiny paintings that have been done by street artist, Ben Wilson. Consider it an adjunct to the artworks of the Tate Modern.

Lovely foot bridge with a fantastic view of St Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern, and Tower Bridge. In addition to enjoying the view, I would also recommend to look down. Some artist(s) have painted interesting figures and logos on the old chewing gum that's stuck to the bridge.

A modern looking bridge! I was in the area just before sunset, and then I got to enjoy the sunset here, which is super pretty. Very cotton candy like 😁. St Paul cathedral is visible from here and it also looks beautiful. It's a popular place to take pictures, but please mind your step as there are many people here.

Really beautiful pedestrian bridge whether from afar or traversing across, it’s fantastic to run over and provides the most ideal way to get to Tate Modern if travelling by tube - getting off at St.Pauls (Central Line). It can get slightly breezy at times but taking in the views from its middle is so much better with the breeze blowing through one’s hair.

Very beautiful and elagent foot bridge. Perfect for taking photos of from one end of the bridge to the other with St Paul's at the end, if the bridge is empty. If not (which it often isn't during the daytime and early nighttime, it is still a nice vantage point to take photos from if you are not able to take photos of it without obstruction. It also looks quite nice it take photos of from a slight distance when not standing on the bridge.
