What is the official name of great fire of London?

The only name, official or otherwise, is the Great Fire (of London).

Is hill Samuel life assurance limited still operating?

I'm fairly certain they have gone out of business - or have moved offices - as people keep phoning my new telephone number which was Hill Samuel's old number.

Hill Samuel Life was merged into Abbey Life after Hill Samuel, Abbey and Target Life were bought by TSB following its demutualisation in 1987. The whole group was subsequently bought by Lloyds, becoming LLoyds TSB which also now owns Scottish Widows. Last I heard HSLA policies were being administered from the 'rump' Abbey Life office in Bournemouth but if you get no joy there, try Scottish Widows. HSLA was my first employer from 1980-85.
