The Great Fire of London, 1666.

Started in Thomas Farriner's Bakery in Pudding Lane - a successful business which provided bread to the Royal Navy. Over four days in September 1666 the fire gutted the medieval City of London - only 19 buildings survived the destruction. * The 'Pudding' in the lanes name was an ancient term for offal which was shipped down the River Thames close by.

London's burning, London's burning, Fire fire!

Fire fire, Fetch the engines, fetch the engines, Fire fire, fire fire, Pour on water, pour on water.... Public seating near Pudding Lane and the Monument to the Great Fire of London. This Nursery Rhyme is a bit of a mystery, thought to be about the Great Fire in 1666, some think it's about WW2, there are similar rhymes about Edinburgh and Amsterdam.

No.18 St Helen's Church, Bishopsgate.

Buildings that survived the Great Fire of London. The Anglican Church of St Helen Bishopsgate survived both the great fire and the blitz, parts of the building date back to the 12th century. William Shakespeare worshipped here when a resident of the area.

No.17 Staple Inn, Holborn.

Buildings that survived the Great Fire of London. Tudor building, the last surviving Inn of Chancery (don't ask it's complicated, something to do with the wool trade!) Having survived the great fire it was damaged in the blitz but later restored.
