How did the world-famous London Bridge arrive at its unlikely home in Arizona? Hear the story of how the bridge made its way to Lake Havasu City from London, England. Walk around, under and over the bridge as others have done before you from as early as the Roman Times.
A free brochure for a self-guided tour of the London Bridge is available for download and at the Visitor Information Center, which is open year-round.
Guided tours are only available for groups from 10-24 people and during Oct-Apr. The guided walking tour is a half-mile walk that takes approximately 90 minutes and includes climbing some stairs (51 stairs total to the top of the bridge). The walking tour utilizes wireless technology that allows visitors to hear every word of the entire tour and move freely, even if they are not standing immediately adjacent to the guide. The audio system eliminates ambient noise so there are no distractions, and the rapport with the group remains clear, understandable and entertaining. The wireless receivers are lightweight and worn around the neck with a lanyard. Each guest is provided with new earbuds and receivers sanitized after each tour. Our guide sounds as if he were an arm's length away, even over distances of up to 100 feet.
Groups: Please call the Visitor Information Center at 928.855.5655 to coordinate a group tour.
Attire: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Physical Restrictions: Stairs are part of the tour.

"The history of the London Bridge is not just in the structure itself. It isn't the granite stones nor the architecture of the bridge that make for a good story. It's the people and even the animals that have walked over and inhabited the bridge that make it interesting."
