About The Great Fire of London Is Finally Out

On September 2, 1666, a fire broke out at a bakery on Pudding Lane and raged for four days, consuming the medieval heart of London, its timber houses, its crooked lanes, its ancient churches, and leaving the ground still hot for weeks afterward. From that smoldering ruin, architect Sir Christopher Wren drew up plans for a reborn city of stone: fifty-one new parish churches, a towering cathedral dome, and streets mapped afresh from the cinders. The craftsmen who raised those walls, the masons who dressed Portland stone, the carpenters who framed the roofs, gave London a skyline that endured for centuries.
