The Great Fire of London started in September 1666 in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane and rapidly spread through most of the original City of London destroying 13,200 houses, 87 churches, 1 cathedral and left 70,000 people homeless. The area is now known as 'The City' or 'The Square Mile' and is now the financial hub of the UK with very few people living there. Most of the original narrow streets still exist, including Pudding Lane where the fire started.
