2025 marks a special anniversary for the Millennium Bridge as it is 25 years since it first opened to the public in June 2000.
Connecting the city’s Bankside with the City of London the bridge offers a direct link from St Paul's Cathedral to the Tate Modern.
While its opening celebrated the start of the new millennium it closed shortly after its launch due to unexpected swaying and vibration problems from large numbers of people crossing it.
The pedestrian bridge was opened back up in 2002 after work was carried out to improve it and has gone on to become a familiar part of the city’s skyline.
The structure has even featured in iconic blockbusters including Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince, Run Fat Boy Run, 28 Weeks Later and What A Girl Wants.
Street artist Ben Wilson has also used it as a canvas as he transforms trodden pieces of chewing gum on the bridge into tiny art pieces.
To celebrate two and a half decades of the Millennium bridge, here’s some photos of the beloved landmark over the years:
