The 'Pepys Show': A glimpse of London during next nine months

A 'Pepys Show' was unveiled today in Trafalgar Square, an installation which gave visitors a peek at events on show in London in the run-up to the Olympic Games.

The 'Pepys Show', inspired by London's famous diarist Samuel Pepys, a 17th century Member of Parliament who kept a diary of his life in the city for nearly 10 years in the 1660s, was opened for today only and was free of charge.

Visitors interacted with the installation by looking through a series of peepholes, with each one revealing a different teaser from London's diary of events taking place over the next nine months.

Events included sleeping under the stars at ZSL London Zoo, and museum tours where you could walk in the shoes of Britain's most iconic figures. It also gave visitors the chance to see new works of art from the world's leading artists.

The event was organised by London & Partners to celebrate the launch of the Limited Edition London campaign.
