In London the Metropolitan Police went to great lengths to capture at least a summary of the damage done in each raid. The archive records for each Divisional police area, approximately equivalent to a London borough, contain page after page of records, with one or two pages for each day.

The records for Plaistow district for the 19 March 1941 are somewhat longer than usual, as this raid was the largest on London since the 29 Dec 1940, but is representative of the type of detail recorded.
