Taken from Wikipedia on London Bridge:
"The current bridge opened on 17 March 1973 and is the latest in a succession of bridges to occupy the spot and claim the name."
"In 1014, according to a much later skaldic tradition, the bridge was pulled down by the Norwegian prince Olaf, as he was aiding King Aethelred in what, if true, was a successful bid to divide the defending forces of the Danes who held the walled City of London plus Southwark, thereby regaining London for the Anglo-Saxon king. This episode has been thought to have inspired the well-known nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling Down".[4]"
