The Great Fire of London began in 1666 and consumed over 13,000 houses and 87 churches. It started in a bakery and spread rapidly across London, ultimately destroying around 80% of the city. The fire was at its worst on September 4th and destroyed St. Paul's Cathedral. Christopher Wren was commissioned to rebuild St. Paul's Cathedral, completing it in 1708. While many proposals were made, London was reconstructed on the original street plan but with wider streets and buildings made of brick instead of timber. Over 9,000 new houses and buildings were completed by 1671. A monument to the Great Fire was also erected in the city, designed by Wren, standing at the site where the fire began.

Over 70,000 tons of concrete and 11,000 tons of steel were used to construct the massive piers and framework for the towers and walkways. The bridge's original architect, Sir John Wolfe-Barry, replaced the initial medieval facade design with a more ornate Victorian Gothic style.
The Great Fire of London
The Great Fire of London started in 1666 in a bakery owned by Thomas Faynor in Pudding Lane. The fire spread quickly through the densely packed wooden buildings and thatched roofs, fueled by strong winds. There were no organized fire services, so attempts to douse the flames with buckets of water failed to stop the fire's spread over four days, destroying much of the city. After the fire, the rebuilt city used bricks instead of wood for construction and a fire service was established to prevent future disasters.
