London Bridge attack 2017

Erection date: 3/6/2022

Inscription

In Loving Memory

This plaque is placed here, in memory of eight precious lives lost in the terror attacks on London Bridge and Borough on Saturday 3 June 2017.

{A list of 8 names in alphabetical sequence - see Subjects commemorated for the names.}

We will never forget you, nor all those injured and affected by those terrible events, and the heroes who came to their rescue. Hatred does not cease by hatred, but by love alone.

{The texts are repeated, to the left in Spanish and to the right in French.}

There was only one British citizen amongst the victims; the others were Australian, Canadian, French, Spanish.

SE1, Montague Close

There are 4 memorials in this photo:

  • The London Bridge information/viewing panel is on top of the river wall, just to the right of the person with the red hat.
  • The plaque to Folajimi Olubumni-Adewole is on the face of the river wall, largely hidden by the group of three women at the far right.
  • The remnant from the bridge is laid in the pavement, about where the two people are standing.
  • The London Bridge 2017 attack panel is on top of the river wall, between the person with the white bag and the person in the white shirt.

The information panel was originally set at the centre but it was moved to the left to allow the 2017 attack panel to take the central position.
