The Great Fire of London was one of the biggest disasters in British history yet it was also the opportunity to build a new city. What happened next led to one of the greatest periods of British history. The Restoration period revived the hopes and ambitions that came with having power and influence. It was a time of great progress. It was also a period of social awakening but not without problems.
