The only name, official or otherwise, is the Great Fire (of London). (not my answer but noteworthy) However, Londons Burning was cited in several eyewitness accounts (and who would be able to name it better than them) and was accepted as the name by those in that time due to the SEVERAL fires prior and after, some destroying more land, some the reason for more deaths even). This fire was given the name because of it's location LONDON and because it had been forseen by most and the King had been warned yet no actions were taken. I stand by my original answer...The accepted name IS LONDON BURNING

There is a song called Londons Burning, the subject of which is reflected in many of the songs from that time. It started in a bakery and burned London from September 2nd in 1666 at approximately 2am the bakery which housed the King's baker and his family awoke to smoke.

The fire raged on until Wednesday the 5th/6th when the fire apparently hit a brick wall. The wind shifted and blew the fire into a river.

It demolished on the upwards of 370+ acres.
