Bombs on London...

In WWII, that is.  Here's an amazing interactive map showing the exact location of every bomb that struck in the London area during the Blitz.

It was quite sobering to look at the areas I'm most familiar with, such as Richmond and Kew Gardens.  I've walked over or by quite a few of these bombed locations, but never knew it...

  1. Wow. I've been all over there and never really realized. I see you can zoom in on the map all the way to individual bombs and hover over them for information about them specifically.
