Blackout rules stated that all windows were to be covered, rooms were to be left in darkness, and no headlights were to be used, or torches or cigarettes lit in the open air. The illumination of the [[Big Ben]] was also switched off. Between [[7 September]] [[1940]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A History of Humankind (novel)|A History of Humankind]]'') and [[10 May]] [[1941]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|The Time Traveller's Almanac]]'') the [[Luftwaffe]] targeted major towns and cities throughout [[Britain]], including London.
