- National Memorial for 7 July 2005 London bombings
The permanent National Memorial for the victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings is a planned memorial to be located in Tavistock Square in the London Borough of Camden. Tavistock Square was selected as the number 30 bus that exploded killing 17 was in the North East corner of the square. Also the square is approximately above the section of the Piccadilly Line where a train exploded killing 27 and maiming many more. Tavistock Square is already site of a number of memorials. The memorial will be in the North East corner of the garden square.
Planning
Tessa Jowell announced on 13 February 2006 that the UK Government was committed to creating a fitting permanent memorial to those who lost their lives in the 7 July 2005 attacks. The Chancellor Gordon Brown announced in the March 2006 budget that the Government will provide up to £1 million to pay for a memorial. Selection of a design for the memorial will be by a panel made up of relatives of victims of the bombing and that there will be a public consultation procedure. Camden Council will be responsible for design of the site for the memorial. It is planned that the memorial will be dedicated on 7 July 2008.
