The Great Fire of London in 1666 devastated much of the city. It started in a baker's shop on Pudding Lane and spread rapidly due to strong winds and the predominantly wooden buildings. Although only a few deaths were officially recorded, the fire destroyed over 13,000 houses, 87 parish churches, and St Paul's Cathedral.
