1786
John Carey’s beautiful Actual Survey of the Country Fifteen Miles Around London, 1786 (which now, of course, includes most of London). This incorporates 24 maps of all eighteenth-century London’s satellite villages and many contemporary views.
1792-99
Richard Horwood’s 1792-1799 Plan of London and Westminster – quite simply, the most detailed map of Georgian and Regency London you will ever find. It shows every house (with numbers), every alley, every tavern, every work and alms house. Magnificent.

Hi Vic- I love old maps and old maps of places like London are the best! I could pore over them for hours. By the way, I love the snow on your site. You are so much more tech savvy than me! Hey, cool… I just realized that it moves in the direction of the cursor. Very high tech snow.
Thank you for stopping by, Jenny. I cannot take credit for the snow. WordPress provides this neat plugin during December!
Thank you for these links! I am going to have to take some time to go over those maps carefully. What a great resource to better understanding this time period.
Thanks for sharing these great links. I can personally vouch for Richard Horwood’s 1792-1799 Plan of London and Westminster. I used it extensively to set locations (including a dark alleyway) for my Regency mystery, The Disappearing Dowry.
