Tips for your trip to Millennium Bridge

About the location

Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, it features a sleek, minimalist design. Initially, it had to be closed due to a "wobble" caused by pedestrian movement, but after modifications, it reopened in 2002. Today, it is a popular landmark offering stunning views of the River Thames and surrounding landmarks.

Best timing

Thames Festival (September) – Celebrates London’s river with light shows, performances, and floating art installations visible from the bridge.

Lord Mayor’s Show (November) – This historic parade passes nearby, with colorful floats and participants crossing central bridges.

New Year’s Eve Fireworks (December) – Although the main event is centered around the London Eye, the Millennium Bridge provides an excellent and less crowded vantage point.

Traveling

Underground (Tube)
St. Paul’s Station (Central Line): About 5–10 minutes’ walk. Head south toward the Thames.

Blackfriars Station (District & Circle Lines): Also about a 5–10 minute walk, crossing the river or walking along it.

Mansion House or Bank Stations: Slightly further but still within walking distance.

Bus
Nearby bus routes: 4, 11, 15, 17, 26, 76, 172, 388, and others stop on Ludgate Hill, Queen Victoria Street, or Southwark Street depending on which side of the bridge you're approaching from.

On foot
