Detailed plan of London, extending to Hyde Park in the west clockwise to Hampstead, Stoke Newington, Hackney Marshes, The East India Docks and the Isle of Dogs, Greenwich, Camberwell and Battersea. Of interest is the development of Chelsea, Belgravia & Pimlico, with the layout of Eaton Square (begun 1827), and the new development of 'Portland Town', houses built for the working classes in what is now St John's Wood. Both Lambeth Bridge and the Thames Tunnel are shown as 'proposed'. The route of 'The London and Greenwich Railway', London's first railway, is marked, three years before it opened. A large circle marks the limit of London's Twopenny Post.
