The fire started in a bakers shop in Pudding Lane on 2nd September 1666 and burned for four days. It destroyed 13,200 houses, 87 churches and 1 cathedral and left 70,000 people homeless. There are only 6 recorded deaths due to the fire. The fire ended the Bubonic Plague epidemic of the previous year. Because of religious bigotry at the time, rumours spread that the fire had been started deliberately by dissident Roman Catholics.

Did nostradamus predict the great fire of London?

Nostradamus did not explicitly predict the Great Fire of London in his writings. However, some interpretations of his quatrains suggest they might refer to significant events, including the fire of 1666. Critics argue that his vague and cryptic style allows for various interpretations, leading some to draw connections to historical events like the Great Fire, but there is no direct evidence he foresaw it.
