A look in to the events leading up to the Great Fire of 1666 and the actions of Londoners during it.
The only ‘themed’ walk I do …and might ever do. The Great Fire of London is perhaps THE greatest calamity ever to be inflicted upon the capital. The Great Fire began in September 1666, raged for 4 days and in the process eradicated nearly 14,000 homes and 87 churches. On this walk, we’ll discuss events that preceded the fire, how and why the fire started, the reactions of Londoners and those in charge, the destruction that was caused and finally, the aftermath. We’ll talk about things they don’t teach you at school. Not for the faint hearted.
