Notes
Large and detailed plan of early Victorian London.
The boundaries of Cities of London, Westminster, and Southwark are shown; as are the Rules of the Kings Bench Prison, Fleet Prison, and the extent of the Clink Liberty. To the upper right is a table of London parishes, which are marked on the plan by Roman Numerals. Also marked are their boundaries, and the extent of the Two Penny Post, and the limits of the Hackney Coach.
To the east of the City lies the newly opened Victoria Park, which would later in Victoria’s reign become know as “The People’s Park”. In Westminster the ground plan of Charles Barry’s neo-gothic Houses of Parliament can be seen; together with Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s new opened Hungerford Bridge.
Scale: 4 1/2 inches to 1 statute mile.
