London Bridge was first constructed by the Romans in
approximately AD 46. In 1014 the bridge was destroyed by arson,
destroyed by a storm in 1091 and then destroyed by fire again in
1136. A new London Bridge was again constructed in 1831 to replace
the ageing centuries old London Bridge. In 1968 the outdated and by
now sinking London Bridge was sold to the American Robert P.
McCulloch for $2,460,000 and transported bit by bit to Lake Havasu
City, Arizona. This version of London Bridge is now Arizona's second
biggest tourist attraction. The replacement again opened in 1973.
The bridge spans 928 feet (283 metres). Many visitors confuse London
Bridge with Tower Bridge, probably due to the bland look of the
current London Bridge compared to the grand looking Tower Bridge and
the bridges being adjacent.
London Bridge runs from the City of London by Monument on the North
side to Southwark by London Bridge Station on the south side of the
River Thames.
