Took a walk along the Southbank and the subject of the day is St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge.

St Paul’s Cathedral, a busy and working church has got to be one of the most visited tourist attraction in London. However, many may not know that the current structure is the fourth version, built between 1675 and 1710 as it’s predecessor was burnt down in the Great Fire of London.

The Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian only steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames. This bridge was nicknamed ‘Wobbly Bridge’ as when it first opened in 2000, participants in a special opening event felt an unexpected swaying motion. This caused the bridge to be closed for 2 years for modifications and it reopened again in 2002, non wobbly this time!!! :D Hurray to that!!!
