- Description
- The Fire Monument is a 61-metre (202ft) stone column commemorating the Great Fire of London - a fire in a bakery which started at a location exactly the distance away from the column as is represented by its height: 61m. The Great Fire started in a the bakery in Pudding Lane (a street which still exists) shortly after midnight on 2nd September 1666 and spread rapidly through the closely-built wooden houses. The fire raged for three days, destroying more than 13,000 homes as well as the original St. Paul’s Cathedral. You can climb the 311 steps to the top of the column and enjoy the skyline of London from the viewing platform.... or simply enjoy watching the views in your high-definition “window” now by playing this episode!
