EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the historic event that forever changed the city's landscape.

One cannot help but notice a peculiar detail - a dog fearlessly swimming across the River Thames towards safety. This small act of survival amidst such overwhelming disaster serves as a symbol of hope and perseverance. "The Great Fire of London" was an event etched into history books for its catastrophic impact on one of Europe's most prominent cities. Its aftermath led to significant architectural changes and urban planning reforms that shaped modern-day London.
