Description
A folding map of London extending to Kensington Gore in the west, clockwise to St John's Wood, Islington, Hackney. the River Lea, East India Docks, Greenwich, Peckham, Battersea and Brompton.
Despite the date several later building schemes have been added: Brunel's Hungerford Suspension Bridge (1845-52), Victoria Park (laid out 1842-5), and the new Houses of Parliament (begun 1840 but not completed until 1852).
