The Great Fire of London - 1666 The Great Fire of London is one of the
most well-known disasters in history. The
fire began on 2nd September 1666 in Tom
Farriner's bakery in Pudding Lane. He was
a baker to King Charles II. It lasted four
days and burnt down over 13,000 houses.
People lived in houses made of wood and
straw that were close together, so the fire
spread very quickly. Samuel Pepys, one
famous diarist, and his men managed to
put out the last fire on 6th September. Sir
Christopher Wren designed a
monument to remind people of the
Great Fire of London. It stands near
where the fire started.​
