Site: Pepys bust - EC3 (1 memorial)

EC3, Seething Lane

2018: Following renovation of the building to the east, the garden (which now has parking below) has been modernised, which means: no railings, fewer trees, less planting, more paving and more seats. The paving has been engraved with images relating to Pepys' life. We're leaving our photos to show how it used to be. Ian Visits gives the story behind this garden.
