Assuming the Great Fire of London was the correct answer, can I ask "What is this and where is it?"

Yeah, Mike is correct,  it sits on the Isle De Grenelle in Paris .... I was sick of the sight of it when I used to work for a French company.
I did hope I would never see it again in my entire life...   a bit like Paris CDG airport,  or the TGV Train ...

I remember taking a slight detour on one visit to London to see the memorial placed at the spot where the Great Fire started:

I saw it from the Thames.

While we're in London, what's the name of this church and what was once attached to it.

It is the Church of St Martin with Ludgate and the Ludgate and Newgate Prisons were nearby.     ZXZ

The gate was one of three separate sites that bore the name Ludgate Prison. In 1378 it was decided that Newgate Prison would be used for serious criminals, and Ludgate for Freemen of the City and clergy who were imprisoned for minor offences such as debt. By 1419 it became clear that prisoners were far too comfortable here, as they were more likely to want to stay than to pay their debts and leave. They were all transferred to Newgate prison for this reason, although that prison was so overcrowded and unhealthy that they soon returned.

Have the prize sent round without delay.

Knowing full well that you would be the first person to correctly guess, I left the prize, neatly wrapped in Xmas paper, on the front step (there was no back one) of the shop.  I trust you found it and are happy with the contents!    :laugh:

And I am half Dutch, half Yorkshire hence Yorkie.  Yutch or Dorky wouldn't look right!     _))*
