London Millennium Funicular

The London Millennium Funicular is a cable railway on Peter's Hill that travels along an inclined track system to overcome the slope. It connects two levels and carries passengers across the steep street in less than a minute.

This funicular opened in 2003 as infrastructure accompanying the Millennium Bridge project. It was built to make the steep hill easier for people to navigate.

This funicular shows how modern engineering fits into London's historic core and changes how visitors experience the hill. It has become part of how people move through this part of the city.

The journey takes about one minute and the carriage accommodates several passengers at once. It is a practical way to cross the steep street without using stairs.

It is the only funicular railway within Greater London and a rare form of transport in this modern city. This rarity makes it a distinctive feature of local infrastructure.
