This is a very good question!

LONDON, UK

First, in the UK, there is THE 'London Bridge', which, going north from Borough High Street, crosses the River Thames to get to King William Street. This bridge is between Tower Bridge to the east, and Southwark Bridge to the west.

But this bridge is not the original 'London Bridge'! The present bridge was built/opened in 1973. It was built on the site of the old London Bridge, which had been bought by a rich American and exported to Arizona, America! It is still there to this day and is a favorite tourist attraction!

In addition to these two bridges called 'London Bridge' there are many other bridges in London, UK. Tower Bridge is a London bridge, as is Southwark Bridge.

London is a big place, and across the River Thames there are more than thirty bridges, including road, rail and foot bridges. Each could be called a London bridge. Of course, in addition, there are also very many more bridges in other places in London.

---- OTHER LONDONs: There are many places called London, e.g. in the USA, Canada, and in other countries. Doubtless most of them, if not all, will have at least one bridge.

However, there is one London that definitely doesn't have a bridge, at least not as far as we know! It is the asteroidcalled '8837 London.'
