London Bridge

If you ever wonder where the parties are first look for the London bridge. Once you get there, look below the bridge, in the water and you will see. =)

What a waste of time. I thought that I should go and see this monument to folly, hauling a stone bridge from London to the middle of nowhere. I wish I’d never bothered, one of the most dissapointing places I’ve ever been to. A really tacky little England themed playground for out of control brats.

Nice to see the old bridge again!

what more can i say

While it once was the crown jewel of Havasu, The London Bridge has fallen into decay over the past few decades. The English Village, part of the entire London Bridge area has a scattered selection of shopping, mostly catering to out-of-town tourists looking for knick-nacks or to the spring break community.

There is an inititive to revitalize the Bridge to be a bustling tourist area, worthy of the name “3rd most visited attraction in Arizona.

Christmas is one of the most visually pleasing times to visit the Bridge. During winter they light up the whole Bridge/Village with an array of lights, as well as the Parade Of Lights that happens once a year.

Spring will bring you into a more crowded envrioment, as the Bridge attracts many of the spring breakers from colleges accross the country.

A few excellent places to check out are Papa Leone’s Pizza, which offers some of the best pizza in town and a nice view of the whole bridge from the back balcony and Javalina Cantina, an upscale restaurant on the other side of the channel with an excellent sonoran menu.

Rotary park is located only a short walk to the south, and is connected via a nice concrete walkway that snakes alongside the channel.
