London Bridge is falling down is a well known child nursery rhyme however concealed in this childhood rhyme is a much darker meaning as it refers to the use of a medieval form of punishment known as immurement. 
When a person is enclosed in a room which has no openings or exit points then they will remain there till death overcomes them.
At the other end of the spectrum London Bridge is (was) the name of a spectacular rock formation which formed a tunnel and natural archway that was connected to the mainland and is located on the Shipwreck Coast within the Port Campbell National Park on the Great Ocean Road.
On 15 January 1990 the arch which connected London Bridge to the mainland collapsed into the ocean and in doing so caused two tourists to be stranded on the remaining arch.
They would be later rescued by helicopter and returned to the mainland.
Despite its downfall London Bridge is still a popular tourist destination for travellers along the Great Ocean Road and each year it attracts thousands of visitors.
