Mark 1333 | Truth behind man who 'bought wrong London bridge'? (UK/USA) 17/Oct/2024 @Mark1333 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
It's one of London's urban legends that an American entrepreneur once thought he was buying Tower Bridge, but purchased London Bridge instead.
Contrary to popular belief, the grandson of Robert McCulloch has now reiterated the truth to BBC London, and insisted the rumour was "not true at all".
In 1968, his grandfather bought the original Victorian London Bridge and reconstructed its exterior blocks in Lake Havasu in Arizona.
“My grandfather knew exactly what he was buying," said Michael McCulloch.

He was wealthy and probably not stupid so he did know exactly what he was doing and it has paid off regardless - I remember researching this story a couple of years ago to this fact.
