The first and main association with the word "Peterhof" is fountains. Indeed, the main attraction of this small town on the coast of the Finnish Gulf is fountains, located in two gardens: Upper and Lower. The upper garden was conceived by Peter I as a garden in which vegetables were grown. There are several ponds with fountains, a lot of winding grapes and a nice alley.

The lower garden is built on the principle of ideal symmetry: its main part is the Great cascade of fountains. The central fountain is the gilded figure of Samson tearing the jaws of the lion, an allegorical depiction of Russia's victory over Sweden in the Northern War. Alleys lead to other fountains - chess hill, Eve, Pyramid - none of which is similar to the rest.

In the parks are a luxurious Grand Palace, in the interiors of which there is even more gold than in the fountains, and the Monplaisir Palace, in which the Lacquer cabinet in the Chinese style is of particular interest.

The Great Fire of London began on the night of September 2, 1666, as a small fire on Pudding Lane, in the bakeshop of Thomas Farynor, baker to King Charles II. At one o'clock in the morning, a servant woke to find the house aflame, and the baker and his family escaped, but a fear-struck maid perished in the blaze. 

     At this time, most London houses were of wood and pitch construction, dangerously flammable, and it did not take long for the fire to expand. The fire leapt to the hay and feed piles on the yard of the Star Inn at Fish Street Hill, and spread to the Inn. The strong wind that blew that night sent sparks that next ignited the Church of St. Margaret, and then spread to Thames Street, with its riverside warehouses and wharves filled with food for the flames: hemp, oil, tallow, hay, timber, coal and spirits along with other combustibles. The citizen firefighting brigades had little success in containing the fire with their buckets of water from the river. By eight o'clock in the morning, the fire had spread halfway across London Bridge. The only thing that stopped the fire from spreading to Southwark, on the other side of the river, was the gap that had been caused by the fire of 1633.
