THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON

Between the 2nd and 5th of September 1666, the old City of London was devastated by a blaze so big it's now remembered as the Great Fire of London. As we run through the devastation and uncover the chaos on this 5km running tour, we'll explore how the fire started, why it raged for so long, how Londoners dodged the flames, how the fire was eventually put out, and the suspicious theories that circulated shortly after the fire!

REVIEWS

"Our guide was lovely, super friendly and informative. The run was fairly leisurely with lots of stops along the way, but we still covered just over 5km. A great way to spend an evening solo or with active friends. Thank you Secret London Runs!"

"Did the Great Fire tour today. Loved it. Great small group with plenty of banter and I learnt loads. Thank you!

"What's not to love about a tour expressly designed with kids in mind? This was a tour designed for families to run together. Cat, the tour leader, has a great sense of humour and a great way of handling children's questions and their desires to impart all their knowledge of the event on to the group. It was a very steady pace so ideal for kids as well. It was an extremely enjoyable afternoon. Thank you!"
