“As its name indicates, this bridge was built in honour of the third millennium. The steel structure was designed by architects Foster & Partners and it is Londons first new bridge since 1894. The bridge is a 370-metre long pedestrian walkway with easy access for the disabled – a scenic stroll along the teak decks between St. Pauls and the Tate Modern. Formed by a single sweeping arc, it is designed to appear as a thin ribbon of steel by day and, illuminated at night, as a shining blade of light across the river.”

"This is a really beautifully designed bridge, and it’s a nice walk across to or from the Tate Modern. It’s got beautiful views, and it’s lit up really nicely at night. I wanted to stop every 10 feet and take a picture!"
