How Many People Died In The Great Fire Of London?

The Great fire of London was basically a conflagration which hit the central parts of London, England. It was started on Sunday, 2nd September 1666 and ended on 5th September 1666.

The fire devastated the medieval City of London located in the old Roman City Wall. It was said that the fire would reach the aristocratic region of Westminster but it did not. The exact amount of people who lost their lives in the fire is till date unknown, but was said to be quiet minimum. The fire destroyed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, including the St Paul's Cathedral and nearly all the buildings of the city authorities.

The report submitted, which said only a few people had died in the fire was challenged, as it is said that the people from poor and middle-class were not counted in the death toll.

The incident of Great Fire of London took place in 1966 and the fire started on 2nd September till 5th september 1966. It was one of the most disastrous fire of the world. The official death toll was 478 people but now the sources say it was more than 6000. Read more about this incident Link

But remember, lower/middle classed people were not counted

6000 !!!

Many sources say that only 16 people died in the London fire.

Loadsa different people have different answers, because some of the deaths went unrecorded.

People say only a few people died but the lower and middle class people were not accounted for their death so actually it could be over 7000!

6 people died including the lady who started it

Ancer it for me know

It was started by a maid that forgot to turn the bakerys ovens off !

 The great Fire of London was in 1666 in Pudding Lane in the City of London. Most people believe the death toll was zero (indeed I learnt that at school in the 1960's, but it actually was 8 

Six people died

Our history teacher told us 7 people dies. It could be more. It could be less. But it was started by Robert Hubert a french mentally unstable spy -_-

Hubert confessed, but later tried to retract his initial confession but people didn't believe him. After he was hanged it was found that he was out of the country when it happened.
