"What side of the river is Westminster Bridge?"

I've had that about London Bridge.

Hm, but if they asked for the station with that name and not the bridge
itself?

Also, I've often heard the area around the station referred to as
London Bridge. As in, "London Bridge isn't a very nice area" or "Guy's
Hospital is in London Bridge".

So it's a perfectly valid question, and the answer is the south side.

It's also quite possible that the person asking the question is not
making the (in a number of cases false) assumption that every bridge
in London goes over the Thames as e.g. Deptford Bridge doesn't.
