what is the real name of the london bridge?

Answer 1

the last i heard the London bridge was tumbling down hahaha

Answer 2

Tower Bridge is often confused for London Bridge. The original London Bridge is now somewhere in a desert in America - no great loss I understand. A modern London Bridge exists but is not worth seeing as a visitor. Tower Bridge is much more interesting.

Answer 3

Bridge of London.

Answer 4

London Bridge is its real name.

Some people mistakenly call Tower Bridge as London Bridge.

Answer 5

London Bridge is called London Bridge. A recent record by somebody called Fergie has a picture of Tower Bridge on it. Tower Bridge is often confused by Americans (as in this case) as being London Bridge but they are two distinct and separate bridges. Part of the old London Bridges was purchased by an American consortium that thought it was buying Tower Bridge.

The London Bridge bought by the Americans was built by Rennie on the site of several London Bridges and there is another one there now.

On 18 April 1968, Rennie's bridge was sold to the American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for the sum of $2,460,000. (It has been claimed that he was under the mistaken belief that he was buying the much more impressive Tower Bridge, which is often erroneously thought of as 'London Bridge' by tourists, though McCulloch himself strongly denied this.) The bridge was reconstructed at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and dedicated on October 10, 1971. Not all of the bridge was transported to America, as some was kept behind in lieu of tax duties.


The rebuilt London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, ArizonaThe version of London Bridge that was rebuilt at Lake Havasu consists of a concrete frame with stones from the old London Bridge used as cladding. The remaining stone was left at Merrivale Quarry on Dartmoor in Devon, so a large part of Rennie's bridge never left the UK. When Merrivale Quarry was abandoned and flooded in 2003, the remaining stones were auctioned off. The reconstruction of Rennie's London Bridge spans a canal that leads from Lake Havasu to Thomson Bay, and forms the centrepiece of a theme park in English style, complete with mock-Tudor shopping mall. Rennie's London Bridge has become Arizona's second-biggest tourist attraction, after the Grand Canyon.

Just as a footnote the record 'London Bridge' by this 'Fergie' person, whoever she is, is one of the worst records I have ever heard. I would strongly recommend that no-one waste money by buying it or damage their eardrums by listening to it.
