    London Bridge History

    London Bridge has been built and destroyed many times over the centuries. If you're interested in its long-standing history, you can even buy London Bridge tickets for an in-depth tour. As fires engulfed the city, wars raged between Romans and Saxon invaders, rulers were overthrown, and new conquerors took their place, the London Bridge stood as a witness to it all. Initially, the first London Bridge was a military-style pontoon built in 53 AD in Roman Londinium, only to be destroyed seven years later. In 100 AD, a new bridge that connected the South Works in Southwark to Londinium was built, and it wasn't until 1190 that the first stone bridge was erected.

    In 1305, William Wallace, a Scottish Knight, was the first traitor to have his dismembered head displayed on the London Bridge, giving the bridge its gruesome reputation. The present bridge was built in 1971, right next to Rennie Bridge, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II opened it in 1973. For those eager to compare, Tower Bridge Experience tickets are also available.

    Today, the London Bridge Experience offers a fascinating interactive journey through London's dark history. This is not to be confused with the Tower Bridge Experience, which is more focused on the engineering and panoramic views. When you're at the London Bridge, you're actually exploring 2,000 years of London Bridge London history. From the Great Fire of London to Welsh invader Boudicca’s battle against the Romans, or even the infamous Jack the Ripper, this tour is not for the faint-hearted.

    Those who dare can descend into the bowels of the Bridge for a frightful experience. You'll learn about life in London starting from Roman times up to 19th-century pickpocketing thieves. The disused railway tunnel, the traitor’s Gate House, and the Chapel of Thomas Beckett are all stops along the way.

    Unearthed in 2007 during construction of the attraction, hundreds of bodies were discovered on-site. As a former 16th-century plague pit, The London Tombs boast an unbeatable scare factor. Walk through these Tombs and learn about the gruesome past of London Bridge.

    • Workers at The London Bridge Experience have reported hearing children’s eerie cries and have witnessed poltergeist activity while on shift.
    • The Great Fire of London (1666) has no official death toll, but the heat of the fire may have cremated many Londoners, leaving their remains unrecognizable.
    • The murders of Jack the Ripper have inspired many studies and analyses on each case, now coined as Ripperology.
    • Many phantom cries can be heard at London Bridge. They are rumoured to be ‘traitors’, whose heads were dipped in tar and stuck on pikes, executed between 1305 and 1660. 
    • The current London Bridge, which opened to traffic in 1973, was purchased by an American entrepreneur, Robert P. McCulloch, in 1968. He had it dismantled and transported to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where it was reassembled and still stands today.
    • The first London Bridge was built by the Romans in AD 50, and it was made of wood. Over the centuries, it was rebuilt and replaced several times, with the most famous version being the stone arch bridge that was built in 1831 and later sold to an American businessman.
