A Day In London, 1666 (THE GREAT FIRE: 3 Days That Changed A City Forever)

Spend a day in London, September 1–3, 1666 — starting in Pudding Lane, where the fire begins, then racing along the warehouses of Thames Street, through Cheapside’s busy market, and toward Old St. Paul’s as the Great Fire of London tears through a tightly packed wooden city. You’ll see why the flames spread so fast: a hot, dry summer, narrow streets, overhanging timber houses, and riverside stores of tar, tallow, coal, and spirits that turned whole blocks into fuel. Built from eyewitness diaries (Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn), parish and Fire Court records, and period maps and engravings, and reconstructed with modern AI video tools, this immersive walk rebuilds the Great Fire hour by hour — the first spark in Farriner’s bakery, the explosions on the waterfront, the collapse of churches and guildhalls, and the refugee camp at Moorfields as rumors spread and the skyline burns.
