7 July Memorial (Tavistock Square)

The memorial in Tavistock Square marks the site where a number thirty double-decker bus was destroyed by a bomb on July 7, 2005. This specific location holds the distinction of being the only one of the four coordinated terror attacks that day to occur aboveground. Because it is in an open public square rather than inside an underground tunnel, this is the only site where people can stand at the precise point where lives were lost to pay their respects.
