I understand the Monument is hollow, like a cannon so it could be used as an observatory. Supposedly, there is a "secret" (well closed to tourists anyway) ornate basement.

My only cite for this is an old tourist magazine I read on one of my annual migrations. Er..llow. Well there is a staircase running up it. Does this make it hollow? I seem to remember that the porters from Billingsgate used to have some kind of competition involving running the monument with crates of fish on their head. Does anyone else have any more info on this or did I dream it long ago? Mintguy 18:13, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure but I think the tower is as far away from the fire's start point as it is tall.the great fire of london was so alsome and great. the fire was big it spreded miles and miles. Italic text
