A column commemorating the Great Fire of London stood at the bottom of King William Street — close to the Bank of England building in the City of London. Its plaque read in part:
- "In the year of Christ 1666, on 2 September, at a distance eastward of this place of 202 ft, which is the height of this column, a fire broke out in the dead of night which, the wind blowing, devoured even distant buildings, and rushed devastating through every quarter with astonishing swiftness and noise..."

The Fifth Doctor visited Pudding Lane, a street where the Great Fire of London started on 2 September 1666. It was caused by the Terileptil base catching fire after a fight. Richard Mace was one of the people who helped fight the blaze. The fire proved helpful in the long run, wiping plague from the area. (TV: The Visitation [+]Loading...["The Visitation (TV story)"])
