    Canadian approach: build one’s own London, own Thames, and own Blackfriars Bridge:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Bridge

    Blackfriars Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames in London, between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge, carrying the A201 road.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London,_Ontario

    London is a city in southwestern Ontario, Canada, along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. The city had a population of 422,324 according to the 2021 Canadian census. London is at the confluence of the Thames River and North Thames River, approximately 200 km (120 mi) from both Toronto and Detroit; and about 230 km (140 mi) from Buffalo, New York.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Street_Bridge

    Blackfriars Bridge in London, Ontario, Canada is a wrought iron bowstring arch through truss bridge, crossing the North Thames River. The bridge was constructed in 1875 and carries single-lane vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians from Blackfriars Street to Ridout Street North.

    American approach:

    Buy the actual bridge in London and ship it over.
