London Blitz-Where was bombed and victims names?

Question

Does anyone know where I can find a list of locations in London that were hit during the Blitz, and the names of the 15,000 people who were killed?

Answer 1

The whole of the East End - Shoreditch, Stepney, Hackney etc., were very heavily bombed, as was the City and West End. As to the exact places bombed, the Councils of the time kept detailed maps (one was used on a C4 Timeteam programme to excavate some streets in the East End which had been bombed, demolished and then buried under a local park) These maps may still be held by the various London Boroughs or try this site:- http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/archive/exhibits/blitz/frames.shtml?positive/positive.htm

As to the names of all the victims, I have no idea were that information could be found, or if it is indeed available. you could try the Museum of London again.
