🕯️ It's 1 September 1666. London sleeps in a city of timber, pitch and church bells... and no one knows what is about to happen.
Step inside the home of a London merchant family near Pudding Lane, just steps from the bakery where the Great Fire of London would begin. Discover how people really lived in 1666: what they ate, how they washed, what their kitchens, beds, toys and fears were like in the shadow of the plague, and the strangest customs of the age.
📜 Reconstructed from historical sources, including the famous diary of Samuel Pepys, wills, inventories and chronicles of the time, and brought to life with artificial intelligence.
