In bridge, it is appropriate to open 4 of a major when you have a very strong hand with a long suit in that major, typically holding at least 8-9 high card points and a long, solid suit. This bid shows your partner that you have a strong hand and a strong preference for that suit.
London Bridge isn't an opening bridge. The only bridge in London which spans the river Thames and can open, is Tower Bridge. If a boat needs to have the bridge opened so that it can pass underneath, it has to book a slot in advance with the bridgemaster who will arrange to open the bridge at the agreed time.
Tower Bridge was completed in 1894 and was designed to open so that taller ships could get into the Pool of London which was a busy area of the river Thames at that time. When the bridge was built, there were no other bridges between it and the open sea.
