How Did The Great Fire Of London Actually Start?

The Great Fire of 1666 was not a single catastrophe but a cascade of human failures. An untended oven, a cowardly mayor, a city built to burn. In four days, medieval London was unmade. This documentary traces the fire from its origin in a bakery on Pudding Lane through its destruction of thirteen thousand houses and eighty-seven churches, to the execution of an innocent man blamed for the disaster, and the rebuilding that created the London we recognise today.
