A number of London Bridges have existed briefly in the past.
The original stone bridge was built by the Romans around 50 AD. The Saxons rebuilt the bridge sometime around 990 AD, but it was destroyed during a war. The Normans built a wooden bridge in 1066 that was destroyed by wind in 1091, and another built by 1100 was burned in 1136.
Henry II had a new stone bridge built, complete with a chapel, between 1176 and 1209. Several entire buildings were constructed on the bridge, and it was not demolished until 1832, replaced by the "New London Bridge" begun in 1824. This was the bridge dismantled in 1968 and reconstructed in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The current bridge was officially opened in 1973

The present London Bridge dates from 1973, not to be confused with Tower Bridge which opened in 1894.
The Colosseum, by a very long way. Construction on the Colosseum started in 70-72 A.D. The London Bridge opened in 1973 You may be thinking, "what?", if this date is not even close. I might know why: Either you have your times way mixed up and you are thinking of the Tower Bridge which opened in 1894, which is often mixed up with the London Bridge, or the London Bridge might be older BECAUSE the original bridge on the spot of the current London Bridge was built on the year 50 A.D.
Tower Bridge opened to traffic in 1894.
There is no officially opened London Bridge, it is privately owned and moved by a man in Arizona.
The modern 'London Bridge' which was opened in 1973, is built of pre-stressed concrete, not granite.
It depends on how far back you want to go. The present London Bridge opened in 1973 and the previous one opened in 1820. The one before that was opened hundreds of years ago.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge opened in 1864.
