By the middle of the 17th century, London was a density city with narrow streets, in which houses were built of wood and covered of straw. Therefore, fires repeatedly ravaged London, but the most "famous" was the Great Fire, which erupted on the night of September 2, 1666, and in a few days destroyed a third of the city.
September 5, 1666 The Great Fire in London, lasted four days, ended. During this time, 13,200 homes, more than 80 churches, and many public buildings were burnt, 300 acres of land was devastated.
The City Hall and the Royal Exchange, the financial center of London, appealed to the ashes. The most terrible calamities caused a fire to the Cathedral of St. Paul. It is noteworthy that only a few people died in the fire. Most of the townspeople had time to save themselves.
Immediately after the fire, a special law was adopted to restore London. Many areas are re-planned, the streets are expanded, and houses began to be built mostly of stone. But, despite numerous radical proposals, London was reconstructed according to the same plan as before the fire.

The real guilty of the fire was never found. In 1667, the Royal Council decided that the fire was an accident caused by "the hand of God, a strong wind and a very dry season." The total damage from the fire was estimated to be astronomical at the time amounting to 10 million pounds sterling.
In addition, it was later reported that the fire helped to get rid of the consequences of the Great Plague of 1665, which claimed about 100,000 lives, and in general permanently exterminated in London a plague that ravaged periodically over many centuries.
