Working with creative producer Artichoke, we managed the production of a four day festival of events to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London.
This included London 1666: Watch it Burn by American ‘burn’ artist David Best who we worked with to create and install a 120-metre-long wooden model of the 17th century London skyline, which on the final night of the event, was set alight near BlackFriars Bridge on the River Thames.
We also lit the dome of St Paul’s and rigged a 7km dominoes display that followed the three paths the fire took through the City of London.
