Monument to the Great Fire of London

A column commemorating the Great Fire of London stood at the bottom of King William Street — close to the Bank of England building in the City of London. Its plaque read in part:
::"In the year of Christ 1666, on 2 September, at a distance eastward of this place of 202 ft, which is the height of this column, a fire broke out in the dead of night which, the wind blowing, devoured even distant buildings, and rushed devastating through every quarter with astonishing swiftness and noise..." (PROSE: )
The Fifth Doctor visited Pudding Lane, a street where the Great Fire of London started on 2 September 1666. It was caused by the Terileptil base catching fire after a fight. Richard Mace was one of the people who helped fight the blaze. The fire proved helpful in the long run, wiping plague from the area. (TV: )
A column with a gold top was visible as Fourteenth Doctor travelled over London by helicopter on his way to UNIT HQ. (TV: )
