The Great Fire of London began on September 2, 1666, in a bakery on Pudding Lane. Strong winds and wooden buildings allowed the fire to spread uncontrollably. Within four days, over 13,000 houses, 87 churches, and countless businesses were destroyed. Most of the population survived, but homelessness and destruction were widespread. The fire also reshaped the city, leading to new building codes and wider streets. The Great Fire remains one of the most catastrophic urban disasters in history. Lond
