London Bridge
The US prides itself in its ability to replicate various attractions from around the world. I mean, besides their original locations, where else can you see the Eiffel tower, the luxor pyramid, and the Venitian waters surrounded by beautiful buildings? One notable place is Las Vegas. Then there's the wonderful wizardry world of Harry Potter which was filmed in the UK and has been completely replicated and turned into an attraction here in Florida. And there are others as well.
But then there's this attraction which isn't a replication at all. It's an original bridge nearly 2 centuries old that once spanned across the River Thames in London, England. It was dismantled in England in 1967, shipped to the US, and then reassembled and completed here in Arizona in 1971. It's called "London Bridge" and if you look closely at the photos, you can see British flags displayed on the bridge.
Right here, you will find a fascinating history about this bridge, including old photos, and how it came to be here in the US:
