A Brief History of the London Bridge
The story of the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City is as fascinating as the structure itself. Originally built in the 1830s, this bridge once spanned the River Thames in London, England. By the 1960s, it was no longer suitable for the increasing traffic load and was sold to Robert P. McCulloch, the founder of Lake Havasu City. In 1968, the bridge was dismantled and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to its new home in Arizona. Reconstructed stone by stone, the London Bridge was completed and officially opened in 1971, creating a one-of-a-kind attraction in the heart of the desert.
