Most of London had to be rebuilt and it took almost 50 years to finish it all!
It was a hard time for the people who lived there.Lots of people died from disease and from the very cold winter after the fire because the temporary buildings were not good enough. New buildings had to be built from stone (rather than wood) and streets had to be wider so that the buildings were further apart. The first Fire Brigade was established after the Great Fire
