How did World War 2 affect London?

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.
