Darryl of 853 has been to the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich with his camera, a guest poster at Leabank Square has been looking into the effects of the attack on Hackney, as has Londoneer. Martin of Mayorwatch has attended the opening of the London Transport Museum's Blitz exhibition Under Attack. He writes:
Speaking at last night's launch Mayor of London Boris Johnson said the air raids on the capital had been "an unparalleled act of barbarism" but praised the way that London and other cities affected had recovered from the effects of the bombings. Mayor Johnson also suggested that the need for populations to shelter together with no consideration of social differences had helped secure Britain's post-war settlement and the creation of the welfare state.
Bloody socialist. Martin also draws our attention to other Blitz events as does Going Underground's Annie Mole.
Update, 15:12 Thanks to SuperClive (comment below) for directing me to The Greenwich Phantom on traces of air raid shelters in Greenwich Park.
