Did You Know?
Bridges on the Site
There have been several bridges named 'London Bridge' built on or near the same site, dating back to Roman times. They were constructed of different materials, including wood and stone.
Sold to an American
In 1968, the 1831 London Bridge was sold to Robert P. McCulloch, an American entrepreneur, for $2.46 million. He had it dismantled and shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
Rebuilt in the USA
The 1831 London Bridge now stands in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where it has become a popular tourist attraction. Many believed McCulloch thought he was buying Tower Bridge.
Nineteenth-Century Bridge
The London Bridge that was shipped to Arizona was built in 1831 and designed by John Rennie the Younger. It replaced an earlier medieval bridge.
