Silvertown War Memorial, War memorial in Silvertown, London, England
The stone memorial stands on North Woolwich Road with a white column design and inscribed plaques listing names of fallen soldiers and workers.
The memorial, constructed in 1920, honors Brunner Mond chemical plant workers who died in World Wars I and II, including victims of the 1917 factory explosion.
Local residents gather annually at the memorial to commemorate both military personnel and civilian workers who lost their lives during wartime service.
Visitors can access the memorial near the former Brunner Mond Works entrance, with recent relocation making it more visible from the Thames riverside path.
The monument includes names of 73 individuals who perished in the 1917 TNT explosion, marking one of London's largest industrial accidents.
