Monument to the 2002 Bali bombings

The memorial sits quietly in a corner of Denman Street in Soho, easy to walk past if you're not looking for it. A simple stone slab and plaque remember the 202 people who died in the Bali bombings of 2002 - mostly British tourists caught in what was one of the worst terrorist attacks on UK citizens abroad. It's a sobering stop rather than a destination, the kind of place that hits you differently once you understand what happened there.

You'll spend ten minutes here at most, reading the names and the dates, but it's worth the detour if you're already exploring central London. The memorial doesn't demand much of you - no queues, no entrance fee, just a moment of quiet reflection in the middle of the West End's noise. History buffs and anyone interested in how Britain remembers its losses will want to pay their respects.

Visit any time, really. Early morning is peaceful if you want to avoid crowds, though honestly there aren't many people stopping here anyway. It works as part of a broader London walk through Soho's streets, mixing memorial sites with the area's better-known attractions. If you're staying at nearby Lovat Parks for a London break, it's easily reached on foot or a short tube journey into the city centre.
