11 Feb 06 London Bridge…

is falling down, falling down, la la la…

When people hear that song in North America I think it’s common to have a picture in your mind of this bridge here, right?

It’s a fun image to conjure, but the bridge above is Tower Bridge, which crosses from the Tower of London to the south bank.

Here’s the real London Bridge:

and though you can’t see in this picture, the bridge’s name is clearly carved into each section that props it up. That settles onsite any arguements tourists might have about it!
