Welcome to the latest episode of Londonist Out Loud, a podcast about London.
The 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London is September 2016, so we're visiting The Monument with David Laird, and taking a trip to the top of the doric column in the City.
Please do let us know your thoughts via Twitter @londonistsound and @londonist or in the comments.
Londonist Out Loud is presented and produced by N Quentin Woolf.
