The world-famous London Bridge was built in England during the 12th century and spanned the Thames River in London for over 600 years, during which time it frequently fell into disrepair. In 1831, a new bridge was completed and the old one demolished, but by the time the invention of the automobile rolled around it was clear that even this new bridge wasn’t built to handle London’s heavy traffic.

In 1967, the City of London sold the historic bridge to Robert McCulloch, who dismantled it stone by stone and had it shipped and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City. Today, the London Bridge stands proudly over the Colorado River, and is the second-most popular attraction for visitors in Arizona, after the Grand Canyon. Walking tours of the bridge and its fascinating history are available from the Lake Havasu City Visitor Center.
