A question for London types,
So next week I have to teach about the Great Fire of London.
I really want to show the class some pictures for buildings that survived the fire.
Does anyone know of any buildings?

I've tried google but what I really need are the names of some buildings that survived so I can google for them.

Thanks for your help!

The George on Fleet Street survived it.
Also, Samuel Pepys buried cheese.

The fire did not destroy any building you can point to.

i think
the monument (at monument tube) commemorates it, you could show them some pictures of that?

Yes it does
The Monument was originally intended for the site where the Great Fire started, Pudding Lane. However, the owners of the land didn't want to sell so it was built nearby. If you toppled it over in the right direction, the golden crown would land on the spot where the fire started.

This is not an endorsement of the Monument itself. As a friend once put it:

"when you've seen everything else in London, then --and *only* then-- should you go to see the Monument"

The Fire
never crossed the river so you're more likely to find buildings of that era on the South side. Incidentally, that's also why cabbies maintain the adage about the South side being dirtier. The fire wiped out the plague on the North side, but it remained for years on the South.
