Stamford Bridge
London football ground
Stamford Bridge names two English landmarks.
The original is a village in Yorkshire where King Harold defeated a Norwegian invasion in 1066, just days before losing at Hastings.
The second is the football stadium in west London, home to Chelsea FC since 1905: We're heading to Stamford Bridge for the match.
