Christmas in Lake Havasu Ceramic Ball Christmas Ornament

The London Bridge, now a striking landmark in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, carries with it a rich tapestry of history far from its original home. Originally constructed in the 1830s over the River Thames in London, England, this iconic bridge was dismantled in 1967 and purchased by Robert P. McCulloch, the founder of Lake Havasu City. Each stone was meticulously labeled and shipped to the United States, where the bridge was reconstructed and dedicated in 1971. This remarkable feat was not just about preserving a piece of architectural history but also served as a unique tourist attraction that helped to put Lake Havasu City on the map. Today, London Bridge spans a man-made canal on the Colorado River, offering scenic views and a testament to the ingenuity and vision that bridged two continents and cultures. London Bridge Resort's Festival of Lights really brings out the Christmas spirit -- bring the family for a stroll under the London Bridge along the walkway or take your boat on a night cruise through the Bridgewater Channel as over 500,000 lights set the water aglow. There's plenty of free parking at the English Village or The London Bridge Resort and Convention Center. Lights go out at 10pm nightly.
