Though this is not an actual gravesite, it is definitely well worth the visit. For those unfamiliar with the story, back in November of 1987 a fire broke out in the London underground station. The fire began in a stair lift (escalator) and rapidly accellerated, trapping the crowd of people. Thirty one people died that day, and the catastrophe led to an investigation and complete reworking of safety features in the system.
