Great Fire of London
About Great Fire of London
The Great Fire of London was a major conflagration that occurred in central London from Sunday 2 September to Wednesday 5 September 1666, gutting the medieval City of London inside the old Roman city wall, while also extending past the wall to the west. The death toll is generally thought to have been relatively small, although some historians have challenged this belief.

I think my favorite line in all the diaries is he woke up and he was going down into the cellar and his exact words are and put my foot into a great heap of turds by mistake. It's just very funny.
