Description
Walk Starts: Outside 'All Bar One', 14 Byward Street, EC3R 5BA
Walk Ends: Bank Station
Stop after about an hour for lunch & baby change at The Monument where you will be given 45 minutes to go and get lunch of your choice and feed/change baby. There is a community baby change at the community toilets inside The Monument pub (I will show you). These community toilets are agreed for the use of the public by The City of London and you are not obligated to buy food and drink there.
This walk takes place on the anniversary of day 4 of the Great Fire of London, which burned from 2nd September - 6th September 1666.
Samuel Pepys was the son of a tailor who rose up through society to become an important administrator at The Royal Navy Offices. He also kept a diary for a number of years, and it is this that tells us many enlightening things about what happened in London during The Great Plague of 1665 and The Great Fire of London of September 1666, as well as revealing much about life in London at this time.
What you'll see and hear about:
- The Monument to the fire near Pudding Lane, where the fire broke out in the bakery of Thomas Farriner.
- The actual location of Pepys' home and the Navy Offices where he worked
- Inside the church where Pepys and his wife Elizabeth are buried - along with over 300 plague victims
- London Bridge, and where Pepys watched the fire burning from the river Thames
- Cobbled streets in the original pre-fire locations
- A hidden-away tranquil churchyard and gardens of a church destroyed by the fire (and WW2 bombs)
- The oldest church in London, where Pepys watched the fire from its tower
- Locations where Pepys writes about witnessing plague victims, the fire burning, and people fleeing their homes
- Numerous ancient alleyways and courtyards, one home to a coffee house that Pepys wrote about in 1660
