“350 years ago, London was cramped, dirty, overcrowded and dangerous.”

Oh, how times have changed…

[mr.powers]

Wasn't the question raised, "who should pay to rebuild" to which someone said "the king"
And king charles responded " I didn't start the fire"
Which later was became part of a song?

Weirdly enough, we still use miles and mph in the UK for large distances. For height it's interchangeable

Hey everyone! Scriptwriter Ben here, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to learn more about the Great Fire of London, I highly recommend the book "The Great Fire of London" by Neil Hanson, I relied on it heavily when writing for this video. Thanks for watching!

Feels rather topical with the raging fires in BC right now. I can't even imagine how terrible it must be to have your entire hometown reduced to cinders.

I remember playing a PS1 videogame set against this event as the backdrop...

[petercozzaglio]

This was a very hot topic in my most humble opinion.

I get tired of everyone mentioning the Chicago fire when the one in Peshtigo, WI that happened at the same time was way worse.

[maxmetodiev]

I first learned about it in year 2 over a decade ago

[RealLooktea]

For when the title gets changed this was the original one: 'The Great Fire of London: England's Fiery Holocaust'

Can't believe the comments lol. Do people not know vocabulary? This is a word that existed far before the WWII event and has been used after it as well to describe other events (like discussing possibilities of a "nuclear holocaust"). It's a general word meaning mass destruction or death.

I really fw with this narrator. Good job, fella

[hammeredbassman]

Cramped, dirty, overcrowded and dangerous, in other words, a S***HOLE And 300 years later, nothing has changed 👍
