Description

A stone bridge that crosses over the Thames river in London, England. Commonly mistaken as Tower Bridge, this bridge is the one that appears in the Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. "I sat upon the shore Fishing, with the arid plain behind me Shall I at least set my lands in order? London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina."
