Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Essex (Outer London)

Essex is a complicated series, because in the 20th century the series was reorganised as the 'new series', on different sheetlines. However on this page I have listed them all together. Each map includes an introduction and most also have extracts from an early directory. Further details about individual titles are given in our On-line Mapshop.

I have, however, divided them into two groups: This page covers those towns in the old GLC area, such as Romford and Barking, the so-called 'London-in-Essex'. For maps in the present Essex county go to the Essex county page.

These are the detailed maps currently available for 'Essex-in-London' (or 'London-in-Essex'), that outer London portion of the county that includes parts of Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, Havering and Waltham Forest. Also have a look at our London series, where several other maps cover parts of this area.
