London

no because the plague with not killing so many people

No. The houses that were burnt down were built of wood and were tightly packed together. The Tower of London is built of stone and is surrounded by a moat.

The great fire of London was started by a man named Thomas Farriner (or Farynor). One night Thomas started the fire to cook the bread and he went upstairs forgetting about the fire. The fire latched onto the straw which set the whole house on fire and in those days the houses were all close together so the fire spread. This started the Great Fire of London.
It started on 2nd September when some coal fell out of a bakers oven on to some straw

I think he went to Liverpool at some stage to visit relatives.

It was in fact built as three private houses. Sir George Downing acquired the land and built a number of townhouses. They were built between 1682 and 1684. There were between 5 and 20 houses originally (historians aren't clear). They were designed by Sir Christopher Wren. It was only in 1735 when the First Lord of Treasurer (now known as the Prime Minister) acquired the house.

Many described it as filled with roaming orphans, thievery, drunken citizens and brutality of the ones in power.

This is how it was also described in Oliver Twist .

But to others London was an exciting place to live filled with amusement.

The main Attractions came when the globe theatre was built in 1599 where you could catch the new stage plays.

Another sight was the London Bridge which stretched across the river Thames.

Shops then began to fill across the river which was a place for shop owners to haggle with their customers.

Under Queen Elizabeth the first the city became a prosperous centre of commerce.

The city was diseased and unsanitary, and rats carrying bubonic plague thrived in it. Outbreaks usually occurred in the summer, and at such times the royals hurriedly retreated to the countryside. Physicians such as William Gilbert had their hands full, but they could do very little and were much unaware of the role of the rats. Gilbert, appointed royal physician in 1601, died too of the plague in 1603.

Shakespeare's creative genius was recognised famously in 1600. He put on his plays in the Globe theatre, a ring-shaped structure built in 1599 on the banks of the Thames from the remains of an earlier theatre.

Theatre became increasingly popular during Shakespeare's life. Public performances caused crowds and crowds could prove a little dangerous. With so many closely together it could spread disease much quicker and possibly create mobs. Many disliked these performances, however, Queen Elizabeth loved playerts and approved of them.

Buckingham Palace sits in the middle of a triangle with Green Park, Hyde Park Corner and St. James's Park tube stations on each of the triangle's points.

According to official records, nobody died in the fire, although that seems hard to believe.

There was a huge amount of bigotry at the time with the country changing from Protestism to Catholicism and back again according to the religion of an incoming monarch and people were put to death for following the 'wrong' religion. It was so bad that anything that went wrong was blamed on people of the 'wrong' religion or foreigners.

London was a major port at the time of the Great Plague of 1665. Rats would come off of the ships visiting London and those rats carried fleas which started the Plague. The Great Fire of London the following year, killed all the rats and put an end to the Plague.

The traditional clothing which has become national dress is based on the dress worn in early English society by the thegns. It is colourful, and based on England's national colours, red and white. Answer That depends on the period in history you are talking about. There is no English National dress and the clothing depicted below in the link is just one version of part of our long history.

From what I have read on-line, estimates are between 9 and 12 million.

We could see this happen again when there is economic collapse leading to a run on the banks, and grocery stores. We live in a world today were many people do not have the patience to stand in food lines, not that FEMA can feed us all anyways. Another negative factor is the "just-in-time" supply chain today. One must ask, "How many days can my neighbor go without food before he is willing to steal or kill to feed his starving crying kids.

London governs itself on a devolved basis so legally it is as seperate from England as Wales is. However, London is part of what is 'ceremonial england'

The White Tower began construction around 1078 and was being built in a country that had only just been invaded in 1066. The tower was built to dominate London and the surrounding countryside to prevent any uprisisings by the people, to serve as a garrison for William's troops and to also serve as a home for the Kings once it was finished. The Tower of London was used as the principal home for all the English kings from William II to Henry VII.

Harrods was established in 1834 in London's East End. In 1849, to escape the vice of the inner city Harrod took over a small shop in the district of Knightsbridge, on the site of the current store. Beginning in a single room employing two assistants and a messenger boy, Harrod's son built the business into a thriving retail operation selling medicines, perfumes, stationery, fruit, and vegetables. Harrods rapidly expanded, acquired the adjoining buildings, and employed one hundred people by 1880.

The United Kingdom (which includes London) uses Post Codes, not zip codes. British Post Codes are much more detailed than zip codes and typically cover about 10 residential addresses. Large organisations very often have their own Post Code. The London suburb of Finchley covers quite a large area and its Post Codes usually start with N2, N3 and N12. However, as stated above, a particular address will have a more detailed Post Code, probably with a combination of a further three letters and numbers. Therefore a Finchley Post Code could look like N12 5AL or something similar.
