The plaque reads:
London bridge 1825 - 1967
These granite slabs are coping stones from the former London Bridge which was dismantled in 1967 and re-erected in Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA. Designed by John Rennie, the bridge was opened in 1831 and has since featured in many films and books including those of Charles Dickens.
Substantial parts of the abutments and walls still remain and are preserved as part of the fabric of the new bridge, where two large granite stair chambers (including 'Nancy's steps') still exist as part of the original Rennie southern vault.
