A Walk between Two Worlds

From Wren’s dome to Tate’s turbine—crossing Millennium Bridge

The Millenium Footbridge, a shallow suspension design by Foster and Partners and Arup across the River Thames from Tate Modern to St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Stand beneath the mighty dome of St Paul’s Cathedral and you’ll feel history pressing in from every corner. Step outside, walk a few metres, and cross the Thames on a sleek steel bridge—suddenly, you’re facing a modern art powerhouse inside a repurposed power station. This is Millennium Bridge: not just a footpath, but a symbolic crossing between old and new London.

This walk is short in distance but rich in contrasts—stone and steel, domes and chimneys, chapels and turbines. It’s a journey through time, linking Sir Christopher Wren’s baroque masterpiece to the bold, industrial Tate Modern. And in between, the skyline opens wide.
