Great Fire of London, which raged from 2 to 5 September 1666, wrought devastation upon the heart of England’s capital, reducing it to a smouldering ruin.
The inferno, which began in a bakery on Pudding Lane, consumed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, and numerous other buildings.
Though the death toll was surprisingly low, with only eight recorded fatalities, the destruction of property was immense, displacing tens of thousands of residents and forever altering the city's landscape.
Aftermath of the fire led to significant rebuilding efforts, with new building regulations being implemented to prevent such a disaster from happening again.
