The Great Fire of London was a catastrophic event for Britain:one of the most devastating fires we have ever experienced. It destroyed almost the entire old city and has become a national memory burnt into our consciousness. 350 years on, we have all heard of the Great Fire... but what do we actually know about what happened?
