About this Episode

In this podcast episode, we delve into the events that unfolded during the Great Fire of London.
Join us as we explore how a small bakery in Pudding Lane became the unfortunate spark that ignited the city. Fanned by powerful winds, the flames quickly engulfed buildings and continued their relentless path of destruction for days.
Surprisingly, the official death toll stood at a mere six individuals, but the aftermath of the fire left a staggering 85% of London's population without homes.
