View of the Millennium Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Millennium Bridge, also known as the "Wobbly Bridge", is a modern pedestrian bridge in London that opened in 2000. It connects the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the south bank of the River Thames with St. Paul's Cathedral on the north side. The bridge is known for its innovative design, which includes an elegant, floating structure with slender steel cables. Originally, the bridge had a "wobbly effect" due to vibrations caused by pedestrians, which required it to be temporarily closed and stabilized. Today, the Millennium Bridge is a popular place for strolling and offers impressive views of the Thames and the London skyline. It is a symbol of modern architecture and engineering in London.

Southwark Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A previous bridge, designed by John Rennie the Elder, opened on the site in 1819. On the 1818 Cary map of London, it was labelled as Queen Street Bridge. All subsequent maps label it as Southwark Bridge. The bridge consisted of three large cast-iron spans supported by granite piers. The bridge was notable for having the longest cast iron span, 240 feet (73 m), ever made. Unsurprisingly, it became known colloquially as "The Iron Bridge" as mentioned inter alia in Charles Dickens' "Little Dorrit". The iron spans were cast in Masborough, Rotherham.[2] It was a commercial tolled operation which was trying to compete with the toll free Blackfriars and London bridges nearby, but the company became bankrupt and its interest were acquired by the Bridge House Estates which then made it toll free in 1864.[3]

A new bridge on the site was designed by Ernest George and Basil Mott. It was built by Sir William Arrol & Co. and opened on 6 June 1921.[4]

Clink Wharf and Dirty Lane

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful old building complex, but the underpass by the Thames is much better, with pictures on the wall tiles. So beautiful!

Founder's Arms – View of St. Paul's Cathedral and London Skyline

Highlight • Pub

This for me is the best view of the London skyline from a pub/restaurant, during the day it is good but at night it looks fantastic. The pub is angled to point towards St. Pauls and the City so grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy the views.
