Harry Potter

The platform, the alley, the bank and the bridge: where the books are set and the films were shot, the studio where the sets still stand, and the day trips to Hogwarts' lake and the Quidditch woods.

Millennium Bridge

The footbridge the Death Eaters twist into the Thames at the start of Half-Blood Prince.

Filming locationFree

Looking north to St Paul's.

Also in Science & Engineering.

Norman Foster's steel blade of a bridge, opened in 2000 and closed within days for wobbling, is destroyed by Death Eaters in the film's opening minutes; the book's Brockdale Bridge became a bridge audiences knew. It links St Paul's to Tate Modern and Bankside, and is the one river crossing in central London that is for feet only.
