LONDON'S BURNING: 1666-2016 Festival & Historical Facts

London Burning Festival 1666/2016. In commemoration of the destruction of Great 1666 Great Fire. A wooden replica of 1666 London was set ablaze on the River to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. The 120 metre long installation was lit up on Sunday in memory of the inferno that ripped through the City of London, destroying homes, businesses and iconic structures such as St Paul&Cathedral. The large wooden model of the 17th century London skyline, titled London 1666, has been designed by American "burn" artist David Best. The event was the grand finale of the London&Burning festival - produced by Artichoke - commemorating the Great Fire. The 1666 blaze ripped through the heart of London for four days, leaving 80 per cent of the walled city in ruins. Which buildings survived the Great Fire of London?
