  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • London's Pub Geology: a Spotter's Guide
    Urban Geology in London No. 20 London’s Pub Geology: A Spotter’s Guide By Ruth Siddall The Three Crowns, Stoke Newington High Street, N16 The last quarter of the 19th Century and the first few years of the Twentieth were the golden age of London Pub architecture with the building of fantastic and fantastical temples to anti-temperance. City pubs of this period, unlike those of earlier times, were not part of coaching inns, taverns (which also served food) or hotels. They functioned purely as drinking establishments (with maybe a few distractions in the form of games, such as billiards). The intention of pubs was to appear as eye-catching, attractive and welcoming establishments with the sole aim of luring paying customers in, and keeping them in as long as possible. They would have been (and often still are) well lit at night, with rows of lamps along their frontages and would have stood out like beacons on the dark, night-time streets of Victorian and Edwardian London. The exterior decoration of pubs was often lavish as was the interiors, although few London pubs retain examples of their original interiors (see Brandwood & Jephcoate, 2004 for survivors). However lavish does not necessarily equate with luxurious and expensive. Although not necessarily done ‘on the cheap’, interiors were often furnished with wooden panels, mass-produced (but often beautiful) pressed and cut glass and mirrors, and brass light fittings. Compare this with the ‘marble halls’ of hotels and fine dining restaurants aimed at the wealthy, such as Charles Fitzroy Doll’s Russell Hotel (1898) and the Criterion Restaurant, by Frank Verity (1899) the latter in swanky Vermont Marble all the way from the USA.
