ISBN.978-0-85054-129-8 We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area of central London, stretching from the British Museum eastward to Guildhall, and from Clerkenwell Road southward to Waterloo Bridge. The features on these crowded maps are too many to be listed, but include Covent Garden, Lincoln's Inn Fields; Blackfriars, Ludgate Hill, Holborn Viaduct and Aldersgate stations; Southwark and Blackfriars Bridges; part of Bloomsbury; Fleet Street, The Strand, Somerset House, St Paul's Cathedral, The Temple, Smithfield, Cheapside and much more. The 1873 map has street directories for Fleet St, Holborn and Strand; the 1894 version has directories for Drury Lane, Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill; and the 1914 map has entries for Fleet St, Kingsway and Strand. These busy maps are essential for any historian of London. Bear in mind, however, that they are very crowded; for many parts of the area larger scale maps are also available in our London Large Scale Series.
