The Great Fire Walk

Dr Matthew Green traces the Great Fire’s destruction and the city rebuilt from its ruins, with an actor dramatising eyewitness accounts.

The Fireworks Night walk lists Monument as its meeting venue and describes starting at the fire’s origins in Pudding Lane. It considers lost buildings, surviving landmarks and accounts by Pepys and Evelyn. Red wine and sparklers are included for attendees; the actor is not named. The narrative’s claim that the fire began on this day conflicts with the5November event date and is not repeated as a fact.
