Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a respected civil servant and a Member of Parliament. But most of us dont remember him for that! We remember him for the secret diary in which he recorded his candid and uncensored opinions of the people he met and the events he witnessed. His first-hand accounts of the Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666 still bring 17th-century London vividly to life. Join Big Smoke for a look at London through a 'Pepysian' prism!
