What you'll do
When the fire spread from Thomas Farynor’s bakery at 2 am on Sunday 2nd September 1666, more than 86% of London was razed to the ground and 130,000 people lost their homes in what was later called the Great Fire of London.
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, The Monument was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London and is one of the best ways to enjoy spectacular views of London while learning about an important moment in London's history.
Standing 202 feet high and 202 feet from the spot on Pudding Lane where the great fire is thought to have started, The Monument to the Great Fire of London is the tallest isolated stone column in the world. All visitors who climb the 311 steps are awarded a certificate to prove that they made it to the top.
