Introduction
The Millennium Bridge is 333 meters long, spanning the River Thames, connecting the Tate Modern art gallery and St. Paul's Cathedral, and can accommodate 5,000 people. The bridge was completed in 1999 and officially opened on May 13, 2000, but it was temporarily closed after only three days due to movement and vibration problems caused by excessive pedestrian traffic. Two years later, the improved Millennium Bridge was reopened. In the film "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", there is a scene where Death Eaters attack the Muggle world causing a bridge collapse, and the bridge that is destroyed is modeled after the real Millennium Bridge in London. The bridge does not have heavy piers and is only supported by Y-shaped structures on both sides, with sleek and slender lines. Address Thames Embankment, London, UK
