Watch Video: London Is Burning

River Thames was on blaze, London is burning as a floating sculpture of 17th century London was set ablaze to commemorate the Great Fire of 1666.

The four-day inferno destroyed much of the City of London, consuming more than 13,000 houses and leaving 70,000 people homeless.

The event was the grand finale of the London's Burning festival, commemorating the anniversary of the Great Fire.

Unlike 350 years ago, fire crews were on hand with powerful water canon and high-pressure hoses to extinguish the flames at the end of the performance.
