I live in Bethnal Green and use the tube station very regularly. I think I first heard about the disaster from the book London Under London published in, I think, the late 80s. I've seen the memorial and am happy that the event is being commemorated, but I can see how it rather got lost amid everything else that was happening in WW2, especially since they wanted it kept quiet at the time.
