古い中世のロンドン・ブリッジ(London Bridge)は、1136年の破壊に続いて、何回か再建された。
1600年頃のロンドン・ブリッジは、橋と言うより、川に作られた建造物だった。

ロンドン・ブリッジは、よく崩壊したようで、そんな歌まである。

Wood and clay will wash away,
Wash away, wash away,
Wood and clay will wash away,
My fair Lady.

Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,

Will not stay, will not stay,
Bricks and mortar will not stay,
My fair Lady.

Build it up with iron and steel,
Iron and steel, iron and steel,
Build it up with iron and steel,

Iron and steel will bend and bow,
Bend and bow, bend and bow,
Iron and steel will bend and bow,
My fair Lady.

Set a man to watch all nigh,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,

Suppose the man should fall asleep,
Fall asleep, fall asleep,
Suppose the man should fall asleep?
My fair Lady.

Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
Smoke all night, smoke all night,
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
My fair Lady.
