The Great Fire of London (1666) was no doubt a huge devastation to Londoners at the time with over 13,500 houses destroyed. The total value of the destruction (not just houses) was first valued at 100,000,000 but was then lowered to 10,000,000 (about £1 billion in today's terms). However the Great Fire of London killed very few people where as The Kings Cross Fire or the Blitz (if you count that) killed many more people. The Kings Cross Fire killed 31 people and the Blitz killed somewhere between 40,000 - 43,000 civilians. So it's more down to personal opinion on whether you see the damage caused or the human life taken as the key deciding factor.
