Ep.11 The Great Fire of London

The History of The Great Fire of London
In September 1666, a spark in a London bakery turned into one of the most infamous infernos in history. The Great Fire of London roared through the city for four days, reducing thousands of homes, churches, and businesses to ash. But it wasn’t just destruction, it reshaped London forever. In this episode, we’ll follow the flames from Pudding Lane to the city walls, look at the chaos and rumors that spread as quickly as the fire itself, and explore how the disaster gave rise to modern firefighting, new architecture, and a rebuilt capital.
