Lake Havasu City is located at 215 km northwest
of Phoenix. California border is home of all things -the London
Bridge. It all came about when the bridge was put up for sale in
1967. The structure was sinking and no longer able to support
high volumes of traffic. One of Lake Havasu's founders bought
the bridge and spent a fortune having it moved brick by brick to
Arizona, where it became the centerpiece of the new community.
Some English-themed accessories -- shops, buses, phone booths --
have been added to make the bridge feel more at home.
