Arizona’s Second Best
By Linda Tancs
It’s unlikely that any attraction could possibly best the Grand Canyon in Arizona, but where else will you see a bridge with vintage lamps comprising melted cannons from Napoleon’s army? That bridge is London Bridge (yes, that London), the 1831 version that was exported and reconstructed in Lake Havasu City. Why? Because the old gal couldn’t handle London’s growing traffic, and the Colorado River resort town wanted a conversation piece. Spanning an artificial canal, the bridge is accompanied by an English Village off London Bridge Road, where you’ll find a visitors’ centre. The bridge is the state’s second most popular tourist attraction behind the Grand Canyon.
