The Pepys Day guided tours on Friday, 6th September are proving popular with only a limited number of places still available.
Six of the ten tours are sold out, and there are only 34 places left on the remaining four tours. Those who do book will be entered into a draw to win one of three signed copies of The Monument: London’s Unique Landmark by award-winning author Tee Dobinson. The draw will take place during the drinks at Mansion House at the conclusion of the tours.
There are two different walk routes, both start from the Monument on Fish Street Hill, both end inside the Mansion House where we will be met by Lord Mayor, Michael Mainelli and the Lady Mayoress and we will all raise a toast to Pepys and his Diary.
Tours will leave at 10 minute intervals starting at 10.00am with the last departure at 10.41 am. Each tour will be lead by an official City of London Guide. Booking is essential.
Walk 1: ‘And So to Bed’ goes eastwards and takes in the area where Pepys and his wife Elizabeth lived. Departs at 10.00. 10.10, 10.20, 10.30 and 10.40
Walk 2: ‘I to Church’ goes northwards taking in many of the places, people and incidents from Pepys’ life. Departs at 10.01, 10.11, 10.21, 10.31 and 10.41
Proceeds will go to the Lord Mayor’s Appeal which supports charity partners focused on mental health; homelessness; and numeracy.
Tickets are available here at £15.00 plus booking fee. The event supports the Lord Mayor’s Appeal.
