The Great Fire of London in 1666 devastated much of the city. It started in a baker's shop on Pudding Lane and, fueled by strong winds and the wooden buildings of the time, spread quickly.

One significant long-term effect was the rebuilding of London with wider streets and brick buildings, which made the city more resistant to future fires and improved sanitation.
