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 Westminster:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same major area of central London, stretching from Cadogan Square eastward to Westminster Abbey, and from St James's Square southward to Victoria station. Buckingham Palace is in the centre of the map. Other features include the west side of Whitehall, including Downing Street; Westminster Abbey (though Parliament is on the Waterloo map); Victoria Street, Smith Square, Westminster Cathedral, Victoria station (but not its approaches); Belgravia, with Eaton Square, Belgrave Square, Cadogan Place, Grosvenor Place; Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, Lowndes Square, Apsley House, the SE corner of Hyde Park; part of Piccadilly and Mayfair including Curzon Street, The Ritz, Devonshire House, Dorchester House; Pall Mall, St James's Palace, Carlton Gardens, Nelson's Monument (top right corner of map), Admiralty Arch; while the greenery of Green Park and St James's Park covers much of the central area of the map. There are street directory extracts and the 1916 map also has a 1916 Court Guide, listing the Royal Family and Chief Officers of State.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 61 West End to the north, 74 Kensington to the west, 76 Waterloo to the east, 88 Pimlico to the south.
