FAQs about Millennium Bridge Tours
Is the Millennium Bridge in London free to walk across and always open to pedestrians?
Yes, the Millennium Bridge is free and open to pedestrians 24/7, weather permitting. It connects St. Paul’s Cathedral to Tate Modern and rarely closes, though occasional short-term closures occur for maintenance or large events. Check the City of London’s official website for real-time updates before walking.
Does the Millennium Bridge offer good views of Tower Bridge?
No, the Millennium Bridge does not provide direct views of Tower Bridge. It spans the Thames between St. Paul’s Cathedral and Tate Modern, about 0.6 miles west of Tower Bridge. For views of Tower Bridge, walk east toward More London or Tower Bridge itself - visible within a 10-minute stroll from the southern end.
Can I access the London Eye from the Millennium Bridge?
The London Eye is a 10-minute walk southwest from the Millennium Bridge’s south bank. Cross to Tate Modern, turn left, and follow the riverpath past County Hall. No direct bridge connects them, but signage along the South Bank clearly guides visitors between major landmarks.
Why is the Millennium Bridge sometimes called the “Wobbly Bridge”?
Opened in 2000, the bridge earned the nickname “Wobbly Bridge” when unexpected lateral motion occurred on its first day due to synchronized footfall. It was closed for 18 months, retrofitted with dampers, and reopened stable. No wobbling has occurred since, but the name persists colloquially.
