4 London Millennium Footbridge
The walk along the South Bank towards the Millennium Footbridg is lively area. Home to street performers, markets, and cultural landmarks, including Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
The Millennium Footbridge, known briefly as the “Wobbly Bridge” due to initial structural issues, connects St. Paul’s Cathedral with the Tate Modern. It has since been reinforced and provides a scenic crossing over the Thames, offering good views of London’s architecture.
You may stop here, but our walking tour does not go over it.
Tate Modern
Near by is Tate Modern, a contemporary art gallery, located right at the foot of the bridge. Free entry to most exhibitions!
Shakespeare’s Globe
Also close. This is a reconstruction of the original Elizabethan theater where Shakespeare’s plays were originally performed.
