English Village: A Taste of Britain in the Arizona Desert Guide
Step into a charming slice of England right in the heart of Lake Havasu City! The English Village, located adjacent to the London Bridge, is a delightful collection of shops, restaurants, and attractions designed to evoke the atmosphere of a traditional British village. With its Tudor-style architecture, cobblestone walkways, and Union Jack flags fluttering in the breeze, the English Village offers a unique and whimsical experience for visitors of all ages. It's the perfect place to stroll, shop, and soak up the atmosphere. The English Village was developed as part of Robert P. McCulloch's vision for Lake Havasu City, intended to complement the London Bridge and create a unique tourist destination. While not historically significant in the same way as the bridge, the village provides a themed environment that enhances the overall experience for visitors. It's a testament to McCulloch's ambition to create a distinctive and memorable city in the Arizona desert. Explore the unique shops offering British souvenirs, gifts, and apparel. Enjoy a traditional afternoon tea at one of the charming cafes. Sample British pub fare at one of the restaurants, such as fish and chips or a hearty shepherd's pie. Attend one of the many events held in the village throughout the year, such as concerts, festivals, and holiday celebrations. While not exclusively British, many of the restaurants in the English Village offer a taste of British cuisine, providing a unique culinary experience in the Arizona desert.
