Think they mean the bridge itself, which is completely nondescript - weird not to go for Tower Bridge but I guess it doesn't have any nursery rhymes about it. I bet loads of parochial morons think Tower Bridge IS London Bridge tbh

re: make do and mend. I think it is probably a good thing that small tailoring/alteration businesses (that mostly disappeared in the 90's iirc) seem to be do doing well and making a comeback on the dying high streets in recent years.
