Here are the details of maps for St John's Wood & Maida Vale:
We have published more than 2,000 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 St John's Wood & Maida Vale:
We have published four versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, Kilburn Park Road and Essendine Road eastward to Regents Park, and from Marlborough Road and St John's Wood Barracks southward to Marylebone station. They show the area developing across the years, a notable difference being the arrival of the Great Central Railway and Marylebone station, with its approaches, on the 1913 and 1937 maps. Lords Cricket Ground is in the centre of the map and other features include Hanover Terrace, Regents Park College, Blandford Square, St Dunstan's Villa, Sutherland Avenue, Maida Vale, St Augustine's church, Paddington Recreation Ground. The 1868 map is still largely undeveloped west of Portsdown Road. By 1937 the map is almost entirely built up, and Maida Vale Studios and Abbey Road Studios are already major musical centres. The four maps give a vivid picture of the area as it developed.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 37 Swiss Cottage to the north, 47 Kensal Green to the west, 49 Euston to the east, 60 Paddington to the south.
