Overview

London, 1666: plague-ravaged, war-drained, and bone dry. Join historian Dan Snow on this self-guided walking tour to track the Great Fire from a baker's forgotten oven to the smouldering ruins of a transformed city. Starting on Pudding Lane, you'll walk south through the streets where catastrophe unfolded, discovering how four days of fire reshaped London forever. On this 75-minute tour, you'll: * Stand inside Leadenhall Market, built over the ruins of Roman London's basilica * Walk St Michael's Alley and understand how narrow medieval lanes acted as vertical chimneys * Visit the Guildhall, the only secular stone building in the City predating 1666 * Learn why King Charles II personally overrode his Lord Mayor to save London
