You don’t have to struggle. There are plenty of videos and photos of that time that you can check out. Also if you visit London you can go around and see a bunch of buildings they haven’t rebuilt and just left them in semi destroyed state as monuments

I lived in London for 20 years and never knew or saw anything like that?

The main thing you notice when you walk around London is the old/new mix. If you see a concrete monstrosity, nestled next to a Victorian/Edwardian/Elizabethan building, you're probably guaranteed that the newer building was built on top of a bomb site.

London bomb sites used to be frequent enough that they were backgrounds in 50s - 60s TV, such as The Professionals, but current economic success conditions have meant they've all been built over.

I have been in London a few times but never noticed.
