The tale of the Monument and the Great Fire of London | History of the City

The Monument stands in the heart of the City of London. Standing over 200 feet tall, the Monument commemorates one of the worst travesties in London’s history: the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The fire began in Thomas Farriner’s bakery in Pudding Lane on 2nd September 1666. The fires in Farriner’s ovens were not properly extinguished, creating sparks which then set the house on fire.
