Welcome to the latest episode of Londonist Out Loud, a podcast about London.
Of all London's children Samuel Pepys must be one of the best-known and loved. His diaries recorded the city at a time of incredible change — not least the most devastating fire in its history. This week we are given a tour of the National Maritime Museum's blockbuster exhibition dedicated to the great man. Accompanied by curators Robert Blyth and Kris Martin, we learn more about the diary and Pepys's extraordinary life.
Samuel Pepys: Plague, Fire, Revolution is at National Maritime Museum, Greenwich 20 November 2015–28 March 2016. Tickets £12 adult/£6 child.
