The Millennium Bridge in London, United Kingdom, is a striking pedestrian suspension bridge that spans the River Thames, connecting the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the Bankside. Officially opened in June 2000, the bridge quickly became known for its sleek, modern design by architects Sir Norman Foster and engineers Arup. The bridge is famously dubbed the "Wobbly Bridge" due to initial issues with unexpected swaying, which were subsequently corrected with the installation of dampers to stabilize its movement.
