The Great Fire Of London took place between 2nd to 6th September 1666. It destroyed much of the medieval City of London including St. Pauls Cathedral.
It is thought to have started in a bakery in Pudding Lane and spread rapidly due to strong winds and the fact that many homes and buildings at the time were made from wood. The fire was eventually prevented from spreading and causing further damage by the creation of firebreaks.
Estimates of the death toll at the time were remarkably low. The fire is also thought to have helped to curtail the spread of Bubonic Plague.
