Matt and I decided to catch some fresh air with a quick trip down to the reopened
Millenium Bridge, accepting its first punters today after a two year wobble closure. As far as bridges go, it's pretty good. Very Ikea-like, in fact ... all brushed aluminium and rounded curves. It's very strange approaching it now from along the Thames - it's set a little bit higher than the other bridges in the distance and due to its skinny design, crossers appear to be almost walking in mid-air. Plus, walking over in either direction you get great views of two of London's most spectular architectural pieces: St Paul's Cathedral and Tate Modern. I'm also pleased to report that it's now a wobble-free zone - those looking to re-enact the fun-fair ride from
Grease's "You're The One That I Want" will be sorely disappointed.
