This year marks a decade since the terrorist attacks on the USA. New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington were both targets on that day, and this exhibition at London's Imperial War Museum focuses on the terrible aftermath left by the former.

The display, created by photographer Francesc Torres, is entitled 'Memory Remains: 9/11 Artefacts at Hangar 17', and will be displayed at the museum in Lambeth from August 26th until February 26th.

Its title stems from the use of Hangar 17 at New York's JFK Airport as a storage unit for the material pulled from the wreckage of the buildings. These items range from the personal belongings of those killed to actual pieces from the doomed aircraft.

All are featured in Torres' thought-provoking collection, which granted him unprecedented access to the hangar and the artefacts involved.

As well as London, the exhibition will also visit the International Centre for Photography in New York and Barcelona's Centre de Cultura Contempornia.

Hotels-London.co.uk can offer a selection of hotels near London City Airport for easy access to the exhibition. Radisson Edwardian New Providence Wharf is just one of the establishments available for booking.
