London Bridge is Falling Down is a popular nursery rhyme that dates back to the 18th century. The song is often sung by children while playing the game of the same name. The lyrics refer to the various attempts to repair and rebuild the bridge throughout history, including the use of different materials such as wood, stone, and iron. The origins of the song are uncertain, but it has been speculated that it may have been inspired by real-life events such as the collapse of the old London Bridge in 1281 or the destruction of the bridge during the Great Fire of London in 1666.
