The London Millennium Footbridge, also known as the Millennium Bridge, is a pedestrian suspension bridge spanning the River Thames in London. Initially nicknamed the "Wobbly Bridge" due to its swaying motion on opening day in 2000, it was closed for modifications to stabilise it. Engineers added dampers to control vibrations caused by pedestrians walking in sync with the bridge's lateral sway. Despite its rocky start, the bridge has since been a popular spot to enjoy views of St Paul's Cathedral and the surrounding area.

It's also used in the Harry Potter movies where the Death Eaters destroy it.
