The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a pedestrian suspension bridge spanning the River Thames in London. Opened in June 2000, the bridge connects St. Paul's Cathedral on the north bank to Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe on the south bank. Renowned for its sleek, modern design by architects Sir Norman Foster and Arup, the Millennium Bridge offers stunning views of the river and surrounding landmarks. Despite initial structural issues, famously causing a swaying motion dubbed the "wobbly bridge," it was quickly stabilized and has since become a popular and iconic part of London's cityscape, symbolizing the blend of contemporary design with historic surroundings.
