A photograph showing bomb damage in Balham during the [London Blitz](https://www.worldhistory.org/London_Blitz/) (1940-1). October 1940. A bomb hit the Balham Underground Station, killing 68 people. The bus then drove into the crater, a frequent consequence of blackout conditions. (Imperial [War](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/War/) Museums)
