Why is london bridge in Lake Havasu City USA and not in London England?

Because Americans are stupid, they saw a bridge in London (Tower Bridge) and assumed it was called London Bridge and said hey we wanna buy London bridge and so they got it muahahahahahaha. They should've asked what the bridge they wanted was called.

Hmm, I live in Ireland so I've spent a lot of time in England. It will of course depend on what part of England you're living in, London is like New York, except normally wetter and Cornwall is like well I suppose it's as close as you can get to the Californian coastlines as people go surfing there, except of course it's usually colder.  But as for England overall, well a few givens. It's a great place, food is different, weather is different, TV has less commercials (and none at all on the BBC), they drive on the other side of the road to you guys, and you'll find pretty much everything is more expensive. On the positive side, nobody has guns (well excepet illegal ones held by hardened criminals and legal ones held by farmers) so it leads to a somewhat more relaxed attitude. Totally different from my brief Californian experience (I've been 5 times) but none the less enjoyable.

The site of London has been inhabited since prehistoric times and developed for many reasons. The River Thames gave easy access to the sea and it provided a navigable way far up stream. It has a number of tributaries which in the past were also navigable. London developed at the first point where the Thames was relatively easy to cross. The river provided a constant water source and also gave a huge supply of fish. The flat marshy land around was full of wildfowl which were also used as food. Within easy distance were large forests which gave building material and fuel also open land which was perfect for grazing sheep. Land on the flood planes of the Thames is very fertile and so crops grow with ease. All in all an ideal place for a city to develop. I think that Winston Churchill summed it very well when he described the Thames as "That silver thread running through the history of England"

I think those who don't live in one of the countries within the UK should not keep saying that the UK is a country. I expect that those who actually live in a place would know whether it's a country or not. Anyway, in answer to your question, it's probably because they are American sites. Many Americans, as has been proven here, think that the UK is a country. As for the map thing. If you look on a map of Britain or the UK which is printed in one of the UK countries, you will find that it mentions each as a seperate country. Maybe maps made in America or wherever represent them as one.\nI am offended that stupid Americans(or wherever else you uneducated people are from) insist that MY COUNTRY is not a country. Why do you dumb people keep trying to tell English(and Scottish and Welsh) people that our country is not a country?

England is a part of Great Britain.

Because the Thames is English and the English can call it what they want?\n\nAll countries have different words for various things within them that are different from what outsiders call them.

I watched map man a few weeks ago and he managed to answer this question. The answer is, because London is expanding so rapidly, not all the streets get named immediately. When the maps are produced the cartographers then have to name the streets themselves, usually after themselves or family members. This can cause great confusion when trying to discover where in London you actually are if you have a map which is over 5 years old. These streets are knnown as the Phantom Streets.

Well when the new Wembly is finally ready it won't just be used for "special occasions" such as the FA Cup Final. It is used for International football matches, lower division playoff games and other events such as large music concerts. There were a couple of years where Arsenal actually played their European games there and when London had an NFL Europe team, the London Monarchs, they played their games there. As for the Millenium stadium, it is the home of the Welsh rugby team and has held events such as boxing and also music concerts. They are like the English/Welsh equivalents of Madison Square Garden I suppose...

It is not played outside the US.  Rugby is much more international and is no longer in the Olympics.

I am an American...was born and raised in Michigan....I am currently living in England about 45 min from London.  Its alright...it rains alot....but there is alot of history here and its really cool to see some of the old castles.  The Tower Of London is great but Stonehenge really wasn't that impressive.

Ok, it's not the Berlin strait, Berlin is a city in Germany. it's the BERING Strait, and it was a lond bridge from Russia to Alaska that eventually broke off and separated the continents
