Not much is known about the earliest London Bridge although it's location is thought to be near the present one.The second bridge a wooden one existing in Saxon times seems to have given rise to the nursery rhyme 'London Bridge is falling down' which it did in 1014.In 1176 the first stone bridge was constructed.Houses sprung up on both sides of the bridge and stood until it was pulled down in 1831,making way for a more elegant,classic structure.This bridge was replaced in 1967 as it could no longer cope with the amount of traffic.The present London Bridge is more 100 feet wide.
The London Bridge preceding the current one was bought by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of California,which reconstructed it at Lake Havasu City,in a corner of America's Arizona Desert.Rumour has it that McCulloch's thought they were buying the much more spectacular Tower Bridge.
The Construction of Tower Bridge began in 1885 and it was opened 9yrs later by Edward VII the then Prince of Wales,Amidst pomp and ceremony.It is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow ships to pass.Since the Thames is no longer used much as a trade and shipping route,the complex lifting mechanism is only used 4 or 5 times a week.The Tower bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge which is dull in comparison.Tower Bridge is one of the finest,most recognizable brida\ges in the World,on which you can enjoy breathtaking views of London.

大家了解不多关于最早的伦敦桥,尽管它的位置与现在的伦敦桥相近.第二个伦敦桥是个木桥,它存在于撒克逊(saxon)时期.在一个童谣中就曾经显现出来 "伦敦桥要塌了",在1014年,它真的塌了.1176年,第一座石桥完工.房屋开始在石桥的两边出现,直到1831年,这些房屋被拆毁,为了去建造更多优雅,经典的房屋结构.这个桥在1967年被取代,因为它已不能承担当时繁忙的交通了.现在的伦敦桥比旧的那个宽了100英尺.
上一个伦敦桥被加利福尼亚的 McCulloch Oil Corporation(石油公司的名字)所买下,这个公司暗中在Lake Havasu 市,Arizona洲(美国)被重建.传言说这个公司以为他们买的是一个比伦敦桥雄伟的多的一个塔桥.
塔桥的建造开始于1885年,英国王子爱得华七世,也就是后来的在壮丽的大典上被封的威尔士亲王(英国皇太子的称号),在九年之后对外开放了塔桥.这个是伦敦唯一一座可以升起以实现船只通行的桥.自从泰晤士河(Thames)不在用于贸易和运输渠道之后,这个桥复杂的提升一周只用4到5次.这个塔桥经常被误认为是伦敦桥,但伦敦桥相比之下逊色得多.塔桥是世界上最杰出,最独特的桥之一,在他桥上你可以尽情享受壮观的伦敦景色
