We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 300 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. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Kensington:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Hornton Street to Cadogan Square, from Kensington Palace southward to Harrington Road. The Royal Albert Hall is in the centre of the map and other major features include The Serpentine, Natural History Museum, Brompton Road, Imperial Institute, Cromwell Road, Hyde Park Barracks; South Kensington, Gloucester Road and Kensington High St stations; Victoria & Albert Museum; St Margaret & St John's Workhouse; Royal Horticultural Gardens (on 1871 map), Kensington Gardens, Kensington Palace, Knightsbridge. The Kensington 1894 map was our first ever title in London.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 60 Paddington to the north, 73 Holland Park to the west, 75 Westminster to the east and 87 Chelsea to the south.
