Monument to the Great Fire of London

About

The Monument to the Great Fire of London is a 62-metre Doric column in the City of London, built to commemorate the 1666 fire that destroyed much of the medieval city. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, its height equals the precise distance from the column base to where the fire began in Pudding Lane. Visitors can climb 311 spiral stone steps to a viewing platform at the top, earning a certificate for the achievement, with panoramic views across the City of London as the reward.
