Why it's Wildland
2.4A pavement-level memorial marks the human cost of a V2 rocket strike in central London on 8 March 1945. A walking-tour account says 110 people were killed and describes the lasting effects on injured people, families, neighbours and rescuers.
This is a compact piece of wartime history embedded in London’s streets: a place to pause and connect the familiar cityscape with the civilian impact of a V2 attack. It is a brief heritage stop, not a nature destination.
