Synopsis
A fire needs only three things: a spark to ignite it, and fuel and oxygen to feed it...
The 1666 Great Fire of London was one of the most catastrophic events ever to hit the nation's capital. The previous year the city had suffered a grievous and prolonged epidemic of the Black Death, causing the deaths of thousands. It really did seem as if London was cursed.
Press Quotes
