London Square

The square was named in honor of the citizens of London, England who withstood the bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during World War II—The Blitz.

The square was named as a tribute and honor to the resilience of the British people and the residents of London during the heavy bombings by Germany during World War II (The Blitz).

At the center of the square stands a monument in the shape of an immigrant ship, commemorating the struggle of the Aliyah Bet against British rule.

The monument includes explanations and impressions alongside pictures about the history of the Aliyah Bet, the hardships faced by the immigrants, and their ships.

In the building with the rounded balcony that borders the square to the south, the Pilz Café was located (as of 2012, it is a McDonald's branch).
