The Monument commemorates one of the most famous events in London’s history. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Dr Robert Hooke and completed in 1677, this 160ft high column remembers the Great Fire of London of 1666 and celebrates the city which rose from the ashes. This impressive structure invites you to climb the 311 spiral steps to enjoy one of the best views over the City.
Trips can be combined with a visit to other local City venues which explore the Fire of London in depth.
