The London Bridge

Even I, never outside of the USA before this trip, had heard of the London Bridge. I even had some images in my head of what it looked like, and some idea that it was old. None of it matches this, which looks like it was made in the 70s. Actually, it was; they tore down the old one.

I guess London has enough history laying around, they don't need to save every last bit of it. I would have changed the name, myself, so as not to disappoint tourists.

Postscript: The nearby tower bridge looks exactly like I expected the London bridge to, so maybe my idea of the (old) London bridge wasn't so accurate after all. London certainly has some fantastic older architecture. It's been a lot of fun just wandering around and seeing it all, sometimes by mistake.
