Millennium Bridge and St Paul’s: London After Dark

Sharing is caring!

There are views in London that cost a small fortune — theatre tickets, rooftop bars, private boat tours. Then there is the view from Millennium Bridge at night, which costs nothing at all and is better than most of them.

The combination of Millennium Bridge stretching across the Thames and the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral glowing against the night sky is one of the most photographed sights in the city. It draws visitors from all over the world, and it earns that reputation. The bridge frames the cathedral almost perfectly, and after dark the lighting transforms what is already a striking view into something that stops people mid-stride.

This guide covers what you need to know to make the most of this part of London — day or night.
