Millennium Bridge

Millennium Bridge

From the sky, it’s a needle threading St Paul’s to Tate Modern. Home to the Museum of Painted Gum (where artist Ben Wilson applies acrylic to discarded chewing gum), buskers and Marvel movie location geeks, it’s a gateway to the cultural chaos of this ancient acre. To think that this patch was once home to brothels & bear-baiting, raves and riots, Drag Queens & Dickens. Walk to mid-river, gaze back at the south shore and take it all in.
