  • Summary

    Most of the conspirators were immigrant craftsmen impoverished by post-war conditions and the loss of craft status as well as of wages. London living was hard, but its networks, neighbourhoods, and public and private meeting places facilitated a bonding and a sharing of ideas impossible in rural England.This chapter explores the effects of the Fire on London’s central habitats, the locations of radical meeting and action, and the alleys, lodgings, and taverns that accommodated the conspirators.
