Queenhithe is a small and ancient ward of the City of London, situated by the River Thames and to the south of St. Paul's Cathedral. The Millennium Bridge crosses into the City at Queenhithe.
Queenhithe is also the name of the ancient, but now disused, dock and a minor street, which runs along that dock, both of which are within the ward.
The ward is served by London Buses route 4, which runs along Queen Victoria Street and stops by the Millennium footbridge,[2] and the nearest London Underground station is Mansion House, on Queen Victoria Street.
