@yasirm79,
It isn't "London Bridge". It's Tower Bridge.

@yasirm79,
British people, Londoners in particular, are used to foreigners getting the name of that bridge wrong. In the 1960s, the corporation that was building a place called Lake Havasu City in Arizona heard that the 1831 London Bridge was going to be replaced and could, if a suitable offer was made, be dismantled into numbered stone blocks, crated and shipped anywhere in the world for re-erection. A surprising number of European stone structures get sold this way, mainly to American projects where they add a touch of instant "history".

Urban legend says that the people building Lake Havasu (itself artificial) thought that the famous "London Bridge" that everybody knows from postcards and which is a kind of pictorial shorthand for "London", the one that opens in the middle and has two towers, was an absolute steal at the price being mentioned. Eager to snap it up, they rush to sign on the dotted line. Imagine their chagrin when they found that they had bought the 19th-century equivalent of a plain ordinary freeway flyover. Still, they bit on the bullet, shipped it over, and re-erected it where it still stands today.

This is angrily denied by the Lake Havasu people. In fact the original stone was used to clad a concrete structure, so that the bridge is no longer the original it is modeled after.[
