Every town and city in the UK was bombed at some time during World War II.
Germany bombed London in the Battle of Britain and captured the city of London. The citizens of London didn't get free until the Allies freed them when they came on to the shores of Normandy, France on D-day. What rubbish!! London was never captured at any time during WW2, although it was certainly very heavily bombed, causing widespread destruction and many civilian casualties. But the citizens showed a fighting spirit and took all this in their stride. Incidentally, the "City of London" is just the square mile of the financial district, and it was other areas of the capital which suffered most from the bombing.
the most bombed city in Great Britain was London. bombs fell on London for 59 consecutive nights.

The London Blitz
It is widey referred to as the blitz. The first major raid on London took place on 7 September (300 bombers protected by 600 fighters). After that, London was bombed for the next 76(!) nights, except for one night when there was fog over London. The campaign lasted till May 1941, when most of the bombers were moved eastwards for the attack on the Soviet Union. All the larger British cities and towns (population 200,000) were attacked.
