Education

To mark the 350th anniversary of the most devastating fire in London's history, the Museum of London commissioned a set of 3 maps to educate and engage a young audience with one of London's most infamous historical events.

In the first map, the players explore the architecture of pre-fire London. In the second map they learn about, and assist in, the efforts to limit the fire’s damage – encountering characters and narratives relevant to the event. The final map gives players the opportunity to design their own version of the new city, whilst learning from the lessons of the several proposals by contemporary architects.
