There have been several London Bridges in the last 2000 years. The one to which this question probably refers is likely to be the bridge built by engineer John Rennie between 1825 and 1831. A necessary widening process some 70 years later weakened the bridge's foundations to the point where it began sinking an inch every eight years. In 1968, it was auctioned and sold for $2,460,000 to Robert McCulloch who moved it to Havasu City, Arizona, where it was rebuilt brick by brick, and finally opened and dedicated in October 1971.

Why is London bridge famous?

London Bridge is a very ordinary bridge which crosses the river Thames in London. The first bridge across the river was built by the Romans about 2000 years ago and there has been a bridge on the site ever since. At one time there were shops and houses on the bridge, which eventually collapsed - hence the children's song 'London Bridge is Falling Down'. Many foreigners mistakenly think that Tower Bridge - the next bridge downstream and much more interesting - is London Bridge.
