A 120-metre long sculpture of the 17th-century London skyline was set alight on the 350th anniversary of the Fire of London


London 1666, a 120-metre long sculpture of the 17th-century London skyline was set alight in a dramatic retelling of the story of the Great Fire of London on the 350th anniversary of the fire. A collaboration between American ‘burn’ artist David Best and Artichoke, the project has involved months of work and participation with local schools and young Londoners. The event was part of the London’s Burning festival produced by Artichoke, commemorating the Great Fire of London
