The Great Fire of London started in
the early hours of Sunday 2 Sept 1666: a fire breaks out in
bakery of Thomas Farriner in Pudding Lane, London, and over the next few days it spreads through the
close-packed wooden houses in the city.
Royal Mail marks the 350th anniversary with a set of 6 stamps in comic-strip style.
In addition to two first class stamps, there are pairs of £1.05 and £1.52 stamps. You can see them all and read more about the event and the design on our new webpage here.
