The Great Fire laid waste to much of medieval London and prompted a transformation in the layout and appearance of the streets. How did the city recover and was the fire as devastating as history depicts? Ruined by fire The Great Fire of September 1666 laid waste five sixths of the walled area of the medieval city, from Fleet Fire brick in the west to the Tower of London in the east, and north from the bank of the Thames to the wall at Cripplegate. London Bridge was not affected, as a previous fire of 1633 had cleared an area at its north end which stopped the flames of 1666 spreading. In many places the ground was too hot to walk on for several days afterwards.
At least 65,000 people had been made homeless by the Fire. At first they camped in the fields outside the walls, but within days had dispersed to surrounding villages or other parts of London. Rents soared in the unburnt area, but somehow accommodation was found for all who needed it. Much merchandise had been destroyed, and there was virtually no fire insurance, so many people were ruined, and some moved away permanently. Plans to rebuild the City Within a few days of the Fire, several proposals with sketch-plans for radical reorganisation of the City’s streets were put forward, including one by Christopher Wren, but they had no chance of success, because so many interests were involved and the City wanted to get back on its feet quickly.
Markets in the streets were moved into new special market halls. But efforts to create a city with fine new public buildings and spaces did not go much further. There were no new public squares. Recovery By the end of 1670 almost 7000 sites had been surveyed and 6000 houses built. By the time of Ogilby and Morgan’s map of the City in 1676 all the area of the Fire had been rebuilt with the exception of some of the sites of parish churches. The mapmakers even guessed at the future shape of St Paul’s Cathedral, even though only the foundation of the east end had been laid.
By1676 all the area of the Fire had been rebuilt with the exception of some of the sites of parish churches. Four sizes were specified in the rebuilding Act – the largest was a house at the back of a courtyard. These grand residences were now occupied by merchants and aldermen, since the aristocracy had been moving to the West End or Covent Garden before the Great Fire and they now decamped with greater speed. The grander houses sometimes had doorways and windows in stone, but this would have been exceptional. There are a very few survivors today, but an example can be seen in the former Deanery off St Paul’s churchyard. London’s new architecture Much has been made of the apparent newness of these houses and the related phenomenon of residential squares. The latter had begun in the 1640s at Covent Garden and Lincoln’s Inn Fields, west of the City and outside the area of the Fire, and there were more on the outskirts of the City on both the east and west sides, built in the 1680s. But were the houses, sometimes in rows, really new and thus a modernising phenomenon?
The four types of house were all from plans which had existed before the Fire. As far as the outsides of the houses is concerned, there were also only a few new decorative ideas from France or Holland. The livery companies like the Mercers and Merchant Taylors rebuilt their halls with ornate stone doorways. Today there are 23 left fairly intact, and ruins or only towers of a further six.

Wren, of course, was principally concerned with St Paul’s Cathedral. The first foundations, at the east end, were dug in 1675. The ruins of the west portico of Inigo Jones, in its day a noted piece of architecture, were regretfully removed by Wren in 1688. 1708, and the cathedral declared finished in 1711. Whether it is around the cathedral, during repairs to a Wren church or on some building sites, archaeological excavation in the City often finds evidence of the Fire and of the rebuilding, especially along the waterfront where the fire rubble was left in the streets and alleys to heighten the ground level against the Thames. Conclusion We have perhaps been overimpressed by the Great Fire, and must place it in context – the Fire, destructive though it was, devastated only about one third of the conurbation of London then standing.
