Great that the victims of the 7th July terror attack have a memorial in London but I just felt that the memorial itself was rather dull and uninspiring and could have been something more attractive.
Located in the south east corner of Hyde Park, the memorial is just north of Achilles to the east of Lovers Walk. The memorial comprises 52 stainless steel pillars (stelae), collectively representing each of the 52 victims, grouped together in four inter-linking clusters reflecting the four locations of the incidents. Constructed from solid-cast, long-lasting stainless steel, each stela measures 3.5 metres high and is unique, with individual characteristic finishes brought about by the casting process.
Visitors can walk around and through the memorial, reading inscriptions marking the date, time and locations of the bombings placed on each of the stelae as they pass. A stainless steel plaque listing the names of the victims is sited on a grass bank at the far eastern end of the memorial.

Stark yet personal. This might be one for those of us living or based in London at the time. I saw a family with children reading off names and then an elderly couple going to a particular column. The mood reflects what the scultpture is actually for, and again suits those in a particularly reflective frame of mind.
Poignant and cleverly done , a fitting memorial to those innocent people who so tragically lost their lives.

Remember that terrible day very well.
First heard an announcement on the radio about "something going on" within the London Underground system. About an hour later the tragedy started to unfold.
There are 52 pillars dedicated to the innocent victims with a full memorial plate listing all 52 names.
A few days later everyone stopped work and spent a minute outside in the streets of London remembering our lost ones.
Terrorism will never win and we will always remember those lost in the 7th July, 2005 London bombings.
