Notes
The border is marked off in miles, based on the meridian of St Paul’s. The map marks the boundaries of the newly created Parliamentary boroughs of St. Marylebone, Finsbury, Tower Hamlets, and Lambeth – brought into being by the Great Reform Act of 1832. These were in addition to London, the City of Westminster, and Southwark, which had returned members to Parliament for centuries. They bear little relation to modern London constituencies, however, they do reflect the growth of London beyond the traditional areas of the City, Southwark, and Westminster.
Scale: 2 inches to 1 statute mile.
