Rising 202 feet above the City of London near London Bridge, the Monument is a fluted Doric column of Portland limestone erected between 1671 and 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London of 1666. Designed by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, it stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill, precisely 202 feet west of Pudding Lane, where the fire began on 2 September 1666. Built on the site of St Margaret, New Fish Street—the first church destroyed by the flames—the column has survived as a Grade I-listed building and scheduled monument, standing as one of London's most enduring commemorative structures.
