I am afraid you are confusing the Black Death, 1347-1350 (roughly) with the Great Plague, which indeed did start in 1665, ending in 1666. In London, it was swept out by the Great Fire of London - a dramatic end for a dreadful epidemic

It is called this because it killed 1/3 of Europe's population. It is very sad. It is also known as the bionic plague(just to let you know!) Hope this answers your question!
