The Burning of London, Samuel Rolle, 1667.
Join Katie Wignall, Blue Badge Guide, on a virtual tour of the route of the Great Fire of London using high definition video, images, google street view and live commentary. We will be tracing the fire's path, hearing how the drama unfolded in September 1666 and seeing what remains we can still find today.
From Pudding Lane, near Monument, we will explore what survives of Medieval London, virtually walking the streets to where the fire finally stopped by Pye Corner near Smithfield. The tour will include contemporary, eyewitness accounts as well as the stories of criminals and courageous individuals who were caught up in this most devastating of London events.
Proceeds from our ticket sales benefit museums, galleries and other arts-based organisations and projects.
