Mayor of London statement on anniversary of 7/7 terrorist attacks

Created on
07 July 2022

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “Today is a day for remembrance as we honour the 52 people whose lives were taken and the more than 700 who were injured by the abhorrent terrorist attacks on our city on 7 July 2005.



“It’s important to also pay tribute to the heroes who came to London’s aid that day. From emergency service workers and staff on our transport network, to the extraordinary members of the public who ran towards danger without hesitation to save lives and help those in need. Our city is in their debt.



“London will always stand united against the evils of hatred and terrorism and our values of freedom and mutual respect will always prevail over those who seek to divide us.”
