The period of Samuel Pepysâ Diary, 1660 to 1669, is one of the most dramatic in Londonâs life: the restoration of the monarchy, the Plague, the Fire, the return of the new age of theatre as well as the development of new scientific ideas. The Diary is a unique record of the time by one manâs intimate reaction to these great events and also the candid and detailed account of his own personal life of domesticity and everyday occasions.
This walk will first take in Pepysâ working area of the Navy Board at Seething Lane and the parish church of St Olaves where he and Elizabeth worshipped and are buried. This area escaped the Fire, but we will then examine the heart
of the Fire at Pudding Lane and the waterfront, culminating in the Monument with its significant sculpture commemorating the role of Charles II at the time.
