In 1791, three men swam from Westminster Bridge to London Bridge for an eight guinea wager. The winner was carried to a pub to celebrate where he drank so much gin, he expired. Presumably the other two just split the four guineas each.

Other times Westminster Bridge came up
If you have an FM radio and you go and stand even really close to Big Ben, so like on Westminster Bridge for example and you listen to the FM radio, the FM radio signals are so much faster than the sound waves in the air that the sound of the bong will go into the microphone all the way to the BBC and be broadcast all way to your radio faster than it just coming through the air at you. If you were standing on Westminster Bridge and you listen to an FM radio and big band chimed, you would hear it on the radio a split second before you would actually hear it in your other ear.
