Battle Bridge refers to the area currently known as King's Cross (London, England). It was traditionally believed to be the site of the legendary battle between Queen Boudicca, the Iceni warrior queen, and the Roman invaders. The battle reportedly took place at Broad Ford Bridge, a crossing of the River Fleet, which became colloquially called "Battle Bridge." Urban folklore claims that Queen Bodicca is buried beneath platform 9 or 10 at King's Cross Station.
