===London Bridge=== [[London Bridge (Lake Havasu City)|London Bridge]] crosses the narrow Bridgewater Channel<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.londonbridgeresort.com/activities/bridgewater-channel | title= Bridgewater Channel |website = londonbridgeresort.com| publisher = | accessdate =}}</ref> that leads from Lake Havasu (a segment of the [[Colorado River]]) to Thompson Bay (also on the river).<ref>{{GNIS 2|7287|London Bridge}} β {{Coord|34|28|18|N|114|20|50|W|source:GNIS|display=i}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web| last=Laskow| first=Sarah| date=2016-10-17|title=London Is Still Paying Rent to the Queen on a Property Leased in 1211| url= http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/london-is-still-paying-rent-to-the-queen-on-a-property-leased-in-1211 |access-date=2021-04-17| website= Atlas Obscura| language=en}}</ref> Hoping to attract tourists and prospective buyers of residential lots, McCulloch bought it for US$2.5 million from the [[City of London]], [[England]], when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled on contract with Sundt Construction of [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]],<ref name= "sundt.com">{{cite web| url= http://www.sundt.com|title=Construction Company & General Contractor | website= Sundt.com| publisher = Sundt Construction}}</ref> and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled by Sundt<ref name="sundt.com"/> for another US$7 million. The construction took three years to complete. McCulloch gave an acre of land in Lake Havasu City to London. When Lake Havasu City wanted to use this land for a visitors' center, London leased it back for a [[quit rent]] of a [[Hopi Kachina figure]].<ref name=":0" /> Since its inauguration on October 5, 1971, London Bridge has become the second-largest tourist attraction in Arizona, after the [[Grand Canyon]].{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}
