Aldwych Underground Blitz tour

I couldn't go on the Blitz anniversary tour of Aldwych Tube at the weekend, but Shepherds Bush blogger Chris Underwood did. He was impressed and moved:

It made me think of the stories that my own family told me about that time. How one day a bomb hurled my grandmother across a room and on top of her new born girl. Which was just as well because her body blocked a shard of glass from killing her. Or how my other grandmother, living in a church in Blackheath, saw the opposite side of the street taken out by bombs before her eyes. They lived with that every day and we should never forget it.

Chris's full report is here. More from London's top bloggers here.
