Samuel Pepys started keeping his famous diary on 1st January 1660 and over the course of nine years he captured a fascinating picture of London life during the Restoration.
But Pepys was also one of the 17th century's greatest naval administrators and spent much of his life working, and walking, alongside the Thames.
The writer Claire Tomalin is working on a biography of Pepys and in the next of our series from the Time Out Book of London Walks, she traces Pepys' progress with Jennifer Chevalier. Time Out - London Walks, volume 2, edited by Andrew White, published by Penguin ISBN 0-14-100353-7, £11.99
