The Financial Times printing works and offices on the sheet are Bracken House, which was listed in 1987. The presses stopped in 1988, and the FT returned to the building in 2019. St Nicholas Cole Abbey Church, restored in 1962, still stands, while the Salvation Army International Headquarters, rebuilt in 1963 and again in 2004, remains on its site. On the River Thames the sheet names Sunlight Wharf and Brooks and Brook's Wharf, and the warehouse at Brook's Wharf is now the Globe View apartments. The plan was made to assess fire risk, and it was kept current with pasted slips as buildings changed. Its replacement, reissued in November 1959, maps Old Change Court, Spillers and Old Change House in place of denser merchant and warehouse plots, together with a reconfigured Salvation Army headquarters and wider riverside clearance. This copy was reissued in November 1928, with a 1949 copyright date. Its latest dated correction is December 1958, and regular updating ended with the 1959 replacement.

Here the sheet shows Bracken House, the Financial Times printing works, with newspaper offices stacked over machine rooms and paper storage. In 1987 it became one of England's first post-war listed buildings, and in 1988 it lost its presses. When the FT returned in 2019, it came back to printing floors that had been turned into offices, so journalism survived where the presses did not. On this sheet, Old Change Court, Spillers and Old Change House are shown consolidating former merchant plots, with St Nicholas Cole Abbey Church standing more openly. The Salvation Army Headquarters and the River Thames frontage at Sunlight Wharf are also shown reconfigured. The plan was made to gauge fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction is a vacancy in block 54, dated November 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1959, with a 1959 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.

The sheet shows fur warehouses crowding Garlick Hill beside Union Cold Storage Co. Ltd, in a City that was still handling commodities. The Hudson's Bay Company's Beaver House closed its fur auctions in 1982, and Garlick Hill now also accommodates the Vintry \u0026amp; Mercer hotel of 2019, which sets a visitor economy beside the older trades that remain. Queenhithe Dock, the City's only surviving inlet, now lies silted up beside Vintners' Hall of 1671 and Wren's St James Garlickhythe Church.

The Bank's offices came down in 2007, and Jean Nouvel's replacement, opened in 2010, combines offices with shops, restaurants and a public rooftop terrace beside St Paul's. The St Paul's Cathedral Choir School of 1967 incorporates the surviving Wren tower of St Augustine's. The Royal Exchange Assurance offices on the sheet recall an insurer of 1720 that was absorbed into Guardian Royal Exchange in 1968 and into AXA in 1999. The sheet also names Gateway House, Wiggins Teape and Lloyds Bank. This reissue supersedes the edition of November 1933, marked \"obsolete\", which records Bank of England buildings and Gateway House under construction in November 1955. Here the sheet shows the consolidated complex and altered streets in place of the earlier warehouses.

Beneath the clearance notices, the textile and clothing warehouses on the sheet preserve the trading character of Old Change and Friday Street. They were replaced by the Bank of England complex in a shift from merchandise to offices. That complex has itself gone, demolished in 2007 for One New Change, so this ground has been cleared twice over. The Church of St Augustine with St Faith was bombed in 1941 and never rebuilt, but its Wren tower survives in the St Paul's Cathedral Choir School of 1967. The sheet also names St Matthew's Churchyard, the Sun Life Assurance Society offices and the Information Bureau. It records the cleared Bank of England site under construction and Gateway House being built, while the replacement edition maps the consolidated New Change complex over these streets and plots. The plan was made to assess fire risk, and it carries pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. The sheet was reissued in November 1933, with a 1949 copyright date.

On the sheet, fur and woollen premises at Watling Court and tea-blending in Watling House show that commodity trades were still handling goods among the banks and insurance offices. Among them were the Yorkshire Bank, since rebranded Virgin Money, and the National Mutual Life Assurance offices in Bow Churchyard. National Mutual Life Assurance was Keynes's old society, and it was sold to GE Capital in 2002. Bow Bells House was rebuilt in 2007, and the sheet also names Cheyne House and Aldermary House.
