When found drinking wine in the street while watching the conflagration, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the proprietor, is reported as saying: "A man may surely be allowed to take a glass of wine by his own fireside."[1] The putative manuscript of The History of Cardenio may have been lost in the blaze.

- September 18 – A new Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, London, opens to replace the first, which burnt down in 1808.[4] The first play performed is Macbeth. Raised ticket prices cause the Old Price Riots, which last for 64 days, until the manager, John Philip Kemble, reverses the increases.
