At this point they should just rename it.
London bridge can be renamed to "Disappointing Bridge".
The kicker is that the original London Bridge is not even located in London. It was sold and then transported to the USA.
Lake Havasu City, Arizona! Fun facts:
The bridge was bought by Robert McCulloch of McCulloch Chainsaws with his vision of a planned community in the Mojave desert.
All of the bricks were numbered, and they were dismantled and reassembled in a specific order. The bridge was built, not over an actual channel, it was built on a peninsula, and the channel was dug out afterwards.
While he was not the highest bidder on the bridge, the British government appreciated how he calculated his bid by accounting for a value of each brick in relation to the number of people living in England at the time.
The man who designed the roads in Disneyland designed the roads in Lake Havasu City. The only straight road is the highway.
The city did not want to pay for the cost of doves at the opening ceremony. They paid for pigeons that were painted white and they became an invasive species in the city.
Not really the original bridge, just the one before the current one.
Triggers broom, the bridge version.
Londoner here. The easy way to remember it is, the bridge with the towers, specifically the one next to the tower of london, is called tower bridge.
The one that was the only bridge into the old, walled city of London for centuries, specifically the one right next to London bridge Station, is called London Bridge.
Being used to it, I can only imagine how confusing that must be for people.
Ha! Good one
You can report the images as 'not an image of this place'. There are rather a lot of them though and my thumb got tired...
Doesn't count for google maps contributions either ☹️
Yup, I've been there. Wild to think they disassembled and reassembled it halfway across the world in a desert lake.
No wonder it's falling down
Suck our AZ, London!
All bridges in London are London's bridge 😂
As a visitor just leaving the UK now after two weeks…
I didn’t get the joke! I had to look it up. I was in London and it definitely looked like it could be the bridge.
I just saw a Pointless where they had a picture of the Victoria Tower with the initials “VT” as a clue and only 10 people or something had got it.
How are they supposed to know you wanted London Bridge and not just a bridge that happens to be in London? The search queries aren't case sensitive.
