You can go on your own "half marathon/mini marathon" around your house/garden collecting facts about landmarks in London using the sheets below. These can be stuck on the wall or you can stop and show these on your phone. Then you can write a fact about each place on a piece of paper or on your "Landmark fact sheet". 

Focus on the Monument and talk about what it might be memorialising. Have you heard of the great fire of London before? What have you heard? What might it be? What do you think happened? Without finding out the information, can you have a guess of what you think might have happened, and why there is a monument built about the experience. Write a few sentences about your ideas.
