London's
Millenium Bridge, a footbridge across the Thames, which crosses from St. Paul's on the
north side of the river to The Tate Modern art gallery on the South Bank. |
The Millenium Bridge is famous for the
way it wobbled when it was first opened. A view of the underneath of
the bridge shows the main modifications that were added to
solve the problem. Click on the thumbnail to open a page giving more

In this view
looking south downstream from the south bank of the Thames you can see Tower Bridge in
the distance. |
The bridge is a
popular tourist attraction and there are often hundreds of people walking across it at any
time. |
To the right of
the picture you can see the Tate Modern, which occupies a building that was once a power
station and to the left is the Globe Theatre. |
