2nd Sept 1666, the Great Fire of London started on the premises of a baker in Pudding Lane.
A monument to the fire was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. It stands close to where the great fire started. I have noticed that the Monument has been reopened to the public after restoration works were completed. This links to pages about the Monument. http://www.themonument.info/history/
