The Great Fire of London of September 1666 was one of the most famous incidents in Stuart England. It was the second tragedy to hit the city in the space of 12 months. The fire swept through the central parts of the English city of London, from September 2nd to September 5th, 1666. The fire gutted the medieval City of London inside the old Roman City Wall.
