Prospero Society Walk: SAMUEL PEPYS – PLAGUE, FIRE AND REVOLUTION

Pepys’s diary, which chronicles nine of the most turbulent years of London’s history, gives a unique insight into both public and everyday life of mid-17th century London. This walk will trace Pepys’s colourful life and his observations on high and low life in London, during the Plague, Great Fire and the regeneration of the City after those cataclysmic events. Now having experienced a modern plague ourselves, there are many eerie similarities (…do we ever learn from history?)
