Night Attacks on London:
Numbers of High-explosive Bombs to the Hundred Acres
on some of the most Heavily-bombed Boroughs
NOTE: The following list is based on British records of the numbers of bombs (irrespective of weight) dropped on London boroughs from the night of 7th October, 1940, to the night of 5th May, 1941, and includes only those boroughs which reported a total of more than fifteen bombs to the hundred acres. For obvious reasons it gives only a rough indication of the relative density of the attacks as between one borough and another.
