As some of you may be aware I work on that big white wheel in
central London and part of the job includes answering questions as

"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?

Then obviously, they'd be right. But they weren't. They wanted to
see London Bridge itself. And they were especially hoping to see it
actually lift to let a boat pass through....... (Yes, I know.)
