London Bridge is an offshore natural arch in the Port Campbell National Park, Australia. The arch is a significant tourist attraction along the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell in Victoria. The stack was formed by a gradual process of erosion, and until 1990 formed a complete double-span natural bridge.

The span closer to the shoreline, sparked comparisons with this nursery rhyme and collapsed unexpectedly on 15 January 1990,[1][2] leaving two tourists stranded on the outer span before being rescued by police helicopter.[3] No one was injured in the event.
