Forty miles southwest of Kingman, ten miles from
the California border, a detour south brings you to one of the
more bizarre sights of the American desert the old gray stone
of London Bridge , reaching out to an artificial
island across the stagnant waters of the dammed Colorado River
at LAKE HAVASU CITY . It has to be said that
it looks a hell of a lot better here, with the Chemehuevi Mountains
as a backdrop, than it ever did on the River Thames. The resort's
developer, Robert P. McCulloch, bought the bridge (under the impression
it was Tower Bridge or so the story goes) for 2.4 million dollars
in the late 1960s, and painstakingly shipped it across the Atlantic
chunk by chunk before reassembling it over a channel dug to divert
water from Lake Havasu, creating an island on the other side of
the bridge known as Pittsburgh Point.
Among several good-value restaurants
is Shugrue's , in the Island Fashion Mall at the end of London
Bridge (tel 928/453-1400), which serves fresh fish, salads and
pasta.
