Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Camberwell & Stockwell


We have published more than 2,200 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 400 of them in the London area. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given.


Here are the details of maps for Stockwell & Camberwell:

  • London Sheet 102.1 Camberwell & Stockwell 1871 - published 2006; introduction by Pamela Taylor
  • London Sheet 102.3 Camberwell & Stockwell 1913 - published 1990; introduction by W W Marshall

    We have published two maps here, each covering the same area. This very busy map covers an area of a mile by a mile and a half, stretching from South Lambeth Road and Stockwell station eastward to Camberwell Green; from Vassall Road and Albert Square southward to Loughborough Junction. The map therefore covers much of Stockwell, together with the western part of the vast Camberwell parish; it also covers part of north Brixton.

  • Even in 1871 this area was very built up, the only undeveloped area being around Knatchbull Road where St James's church stands in some isolation. As ever, this 1st Edition map is especially attractive, many of the houses around Angel Town, North Brixton and west Camberwell being portrayed with their leafy gardens. On the reverse we include directory entries for Camberwell Green, Camberwell New Rd, Stockwell Green, Cold Harbour Lane.
  • The 1913 map covers the same area at a later stage. Features include Kings College Hospital, Angell Town, Ruskin Park, tramways and tramway depot, Camberwell New Road and Loughborough Junction stations, railway works at Stockwell, South Western Hospital, Myatts Fields. The countless streets include Stockwell Road, Stockwell Park Road, Brixton Road, Wiltshire Road, Cormont Road, Flaxman Road, Camberwell New Road, Denmark Hill, and scores more. There are street directories for Camberwell New Road, Clapham Road, Coldharbour Lane, Denmark Hill, Knatchbull Road and Vassall Road.

    An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 89 Kennington to the north, 101 Battersea & Clapham to the west, 103 Peckham to the east, 116 Brixton to the south.
