I love this picture. I think it would be stunning on any wall and something that you would never be tired of. It was taken by working press photographer Lucy Young.  Follow Lucy’s Twitter account HERE.

This photograph ‘’London 1666’’ is of a 120 metre long sculpture to commemorate The Great fire of London that happened on the 2ndof September 1666.

It was a collaboration of work by American ‘Burn’ artist David Best and Artichoke.

Many months of work with young Londoners participating created this fantastic result that was set ablaze as part of the commemorations. The event marked the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire in 2016, watch the video of it HERE!
