7 July Bombings

7 July 2005 tested the Partnerships plans to the limit as four suicide bombers killed 52 passengers and injured nearly 800 on the city's transport network.

7 July Bombings


What happened

The co-ordinated attacks hit the transport system as the morning rush hour drew to a close.

Three bombs went off at 0850 BST on underground trains just outside Liverpool Street and Edgware Road stations, and on another travelling between King's Cross and Russell Square.

The final explosion was around an hour later on a double-decker bus in Tavistock Square, not far from King's Cross.
