The Great Fire of London | The Night a Medieval City Destroyed Itself
In September 1666, London burned.

What began as a small fire in a baker’s shop quickly became one of the most devastating urban disasters in European history. For four days, flames consumed the heart of medieval London—destroying homes, churches, markets, and the very structure of the city itself.

This documentary reconstructs the Great Fire of London as it unfolded, hour by hour, street by street. Through historical records, eyewitness accounts, and modern analysis, we explore how a medieval city—built from timber, packed tightly within ancient walls, and shaped by outdated laws—became the perfect fuel for catastrophe.

The Great Fire was not simply an accident.
It was the result of urban design, political hesitation, social tension, and a city that had grown beyond the limits of its medieval foundations.

This film examines:
– How the fire started
– Why it spread uncontrollably
– How Londoners survived the chaos
– And how the disaster permanently transformed the city

The Great Fire of London did not just destroy a city.
It ended the medieval world of London—and forced a new one to rise from the ashes.

This is not only a story about fire.
It is a story about how cities collapse, adapt, and rebuild when their own structure turns against them.
