About 7 July Memorial
- 💔 The 7 July Memorial in London pays tribute to the victims of the 2005 terrorist attack, but opinions on its aesthetics and appeal are mixed.
- ❌ Some reviewers found the memorial dull and uninspiring, wishing it had been designed to be more visually attractive.
- 👥 However, others see it as a fitting tribute and appreciate that it honors fellow human beings who lost their lives in the tragedy.
- 📍 Located in the southeast corner of Hyde Park, just north of Achilles and east of Lovers Walk.
- ✨ The memorial consists of 52 stainless steel columns representing each victim, arranged in four inter-linking clusters symbolizing the different bombing locations.
- ⚙️ Constructed from long-lasting stainless steel with unique finishes achieved through casting techniques. Each column measures 3.5 meters high.
- 📜 Inscriptions on each column mark the date, time, and places of the bombings. Visitors can walk around and through the memorial to read them.
- 🌿 A plaque listing all victims’ names is located on a grass bank at one end of the memorial area.
