"London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down,
Falling down,
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady."

Following the historical fact London Bridge is one of the oldest bridge. In the beginning the bridge had made by wood. In 1209 the building material replaced by a stone. In that time along the left and right bridge put taverns and houses. The building materil replaced again with granite in 1831, until 1972 it was replaced .
