The Great Fire of London, september 1666 started at the bakery of Thomas Farriner (or Farynor) on Pudding Lane shortly after midnight on Sunday, 2 September and spread rapidly west across the medieval City of London (en.wikipedia.org).

The Fire consumed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St Paul's Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities. The death toll is unknown but traditionally thought to have been small, as only six verified deaths were recorded. This reasoning has recently been challenged on the grounds that the deaths of poor and middle-class people were not recorded.
The wind dropped on Tuesday evening, and the firebreaks created by the garrison finally began to take effect on Wednesday 5 September.
