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 the Waterloo area:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, which includes the Waterloo area, much of Lambeth and Southwark, and the area we now know as the South Bank. Coverage stretches from Waterloo Bridge eastward to Borough High Street, and from Waterloo Bridge southward to Lambeth Palace and Elephant & Castle. A small stretch of Westminster is also here, including the Houses of Parliament and New Scotland Yard. Other features on these very busy maps include Lambeth Bridge, Hungerford Bridge; Charing Cross, Waterloo, Necropolis and Elephant & Castle stations, with many junctions and sidings; St Thomas's Hospital, Bethlem Hospital, Southwark %RC Cathedral, Metropolitan Tabernacle, St George's Circus, Anchor Brewery, and countless factories, wharves, streets, prisons etc.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 62 Holborn to the north, 75 Westminster to the west, 77 Bermondsey to the east, and 89 Kennington to the south.
