On September the second, it will be the 343rd anniversary of the Great Fire of London. Indeed, this fire was the most destroyer of English history. It was a great change for the English population. For exemple, some contemporary artists continue to paint the fire, schools teach it to their pupils, some interactive games are created for the same reason.

On September 1666, early on Sunday morning, a fire broke out at the king's bakers in Pudding Lane near the river. It hit the city of London and threated the area of Westminster, Whitehall where King Charles lived the 2nd and the poorest area.

In this period, habitations and little business were built according to a special and common architecture. The main material was wood dangerously inflammable. Bakery trade built with the same rule.

On September 1666, London, the most prosperous town of England is only ash. An architect, Sir Christopher Wren, had an idea to rebuild the city but people wanted to do that more quickly. That's why London was rebuilt extremely rapidly. St Paul's cathedral was rebuilt and the architect's new urban plans weren't respected.

Houses will be rebuilt exactly at the same place but this time, in brick and tile to resist of fire. It explains why London has not a big avenue like other big capitals like Paris, Berlin or St Petersbourg. Actually, the great fire is commerated
