According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/3d/bridge.shtml the answer is No - once they had finally built one out of stone ... the earlier wooden ones were vulnerable to flood and fire. The first stone bridge lasted 622 years before being replaced by one further north which opened in 1831. The original one was then demolished. The 1831 London Bridge was later transported, stone by stone to Lake Havasu, Arizona in the 1960s, after some American thought he had bought Tower Bridge (this site doesn't mention this, but it IS true!). And the one we have now is the third London Bridge, and that hasn't fallen down either ... yet!
