The Great Fire of London began in a bakery in Pudding Lane one night when a burning cinder rolled from one of the ovens and caught light to the building so it is said, the fire spread rapidly as the buildings were very close together and made of timbers, unfortunately the wind was also against London on that night and blew the fire away from the river where it would have stopped if not for the winds blowing it the other way and on to burn down the entire city of London near enough.
