Very good pictures. The caption to the second one says, "22 olive
tress and 170 cypresses, a tree for each victim of the bombings." I
wonder if there is any meaning behind the numbers?

"It will be situated in the North-east corner of Hyde Park, close to Park
Lane and Lover’s Walk." and "The Memorial will be sited in the South East
corner of Hyde Park, between Lover’s Walk and Park Lane.".

Which is correct, North or South?

Ta ;-)

Short answer is that I don't know.

There were actually 191 dead in the bombings, but a special forces officer
was killed when some of the suspects were later cornered and blew themselves
up.

Somewhere in the south-east corner is where they must mean - Lover's
Walk doesn't extend up to the north-east corner of the park (which
wouldn't be a good spot anyway as it's dominated by Speakers Corner).
