I walked to Barn Elms myself last week, sadly no elms these days, but still a very pleasant place. These days it is joggers and cyclists who are around.
As a newcomer, I would just like to comment on how easily Pepys appears to get from London to Westminster and back again, often several times in one day. Presumably much of his travelling would be on the river, but much on foot. I suspect carriages weren’t really an option. I wonder how long all this took.

The painting is very clearly nineteenth century, and here is the link: https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/rescued-from-…
