Description

London has had a turbulent and fiery history! It has been burned to the ground many times over its 2000 year history and yet the London Fire Brigade was only formed in 1866.

From the destruction of St. John’s Priory, Clerkenwell in 1381, the impact of the Great Fire of London, to the tragic blaze at Smithfield Market in the 1950s, ‘Islington Burning’ uncovers the story of fire fighting in the borough and commemorates 150 years since the founding of the LFB.

The story is told through key objects from the London Fire Brigade Museum Collection, original material from Islington’s archives and other collections from across the capital.
