September the 5th,1666, was the last day of The Great Fire of London that had been raging for 4 days. During that time 13200 houses, more than 80 churches and many civic buildings were burned down. The fire reduced to ashes City Hall and The Royal Exchange - the financial center of London. The most serious damage was caused to the St. Paul's Cathedral. It's remarkable that only a few people perished in the fire.

In 1665, during the Great Plague, nearly 70,000 Londoners died of to the disease with a period of a year. The epidemic was followed by the Great Fire of 1666, which destroyed most of the walled section of the city. Because the Rebuilding Act of 1667 stipulated that only stone and brick be used, the new buildings that rose from the ruins bore little resemblance to the quaint wooden dwellings of old London.
