The Museum of London plays host to a major exhibition which commemorates the Great Fire of 1666. Until the 17^th April you can find out how the flames spread across the whole of London in just a few days, destroying most of the city, via a series of installations and interactive displays. Other sections are devoted to learning about the life of Londoners in the 17^th century, and to understanding how the capital bounced back from the disaster.
