The London Millennium Funicular railway is located in the City of London next to the northern end of the Millennium Bridge. It is also known as the Millennium Inclinator, the Millennium Bridge Inclinator and the Millennium Bridge Inclined Lift. It was opened in December 2003 to allow pedestrians to surmount the steep slope (13.6°) of Peter's Hill from the riverside to the entrance to the Millennium Bridge without using the alternative flight of steps.
