Centre Point is labelled here as a 33-storey office tower, and Historic England dates it to 1961–66. An embodiment of the post-war office boom, it stood empty until 1975 and became apartments in 2018. St Giles Court government offices gave way in 2010 to Renzo Piano's Central Saint Giles. The A.B.C. 1 and A.B.C. 2 Cinemas, formerly the Saville Theatre, closed in 2024. Before its cinema conversion, the Saville hosted Brian Epstein's rock concerts: on 4 June 1967 the Jimi Hendrix Experience opened with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, days after the album's release, with Paul McCartney and George Harrison in the audience. That concert phase had ended by the sheet's final revision. At 26 Denmark Street, the premises later housed the 12 Bar Club, which opened in 1994 and hosted Jeff Buckley, Adele and the Libertines. It closed at this address in 2015 during redevelopment, although the historic building survived and live music returned in 2022 as the Lower Third. The sheet also names St Giles-in-the-Fields Church, the Phoenix Theatre, Tottenham Court Road Underground Station and Philips Electrical offices. The music publishers and studios clustered around Denmark Street and Denmark Place reveal Tin Pan Alley's working music business as well as its later performance history. The trade survives in changed form at Regent Sounds, where the former recording studio at 4 Denmark Street became a specialist guitar shop. Made to assess fire risk, the plans were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, of September 1970, notes a house vacant on the north side of Denmark Place. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1942, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets include Charing Cross Road, Shaftesbury Avenue, New Oxford Street, St Giles Circus, St Giles High Street, Andrew Borde Street, Earnshaw Street, Bucknall Street, Dyott Street, Flitcroft Street, Phoenix Street, Stacey Street and New Compton Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371747922267,"sku":"P-9-001159","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001159a_a2066d85-c950-4bae-a1eb-d0c5eac81a29.jpg?v=1792149116"},{"product_id":"goad-london-198-wc1-bloomsbury-tottenham-court-road-bedford-sq-1942-1970-map-p-9-001160","title":"Goad London 198—WC1—Bloomsbury—Tottenham Court Road—Bedford Sq 1942 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 198 [Tottenham Court Road, Great Russell Street, Bedford Square and the Dominion Theatre]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 198, covers Bedford Square and Tottenham Court Road (WC1), with the Dominion Theatre at its heart. The Dominion was then a cinema, and it ran The Sound of Music in 1965–68 before returning to live theatre in 1981. The Central YMCA's Edwardian building was demolished in spring 1971, as the sheet went out of use, to make way for the brutalist block whose club closed in 2025. Congress House, which opened in 1958 with Epstein's war memorial, is still the TUC's headquarters, and the Kenilworth Hotel is still a hotel. The sheet also names Bedford Court Mansions and the college and laboratory premises on Great Russell Street. Made to assess property and fire risk, the plans were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated corrections, of September 1970, mark premises at the southern end of block 1882, on Tottenham Court Road and Bedford Avenue, as vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1942, with a 1950 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.

The show opened in September 1968, the night after stage censorship ended, and it was still running when the sheet received its last corrections. After the run, the theatre was threatened with demolition, but it was listed in 1974 and is still a working theatre. Elsewhere the sheet marks Cranstons Ivanhoe Hotel on Bloomsbury Street, which is still a hotel, and Bloomsbury Central Church, which is still in use. By contrast, Selkirk House and the Trust Houses offices, the hotel group's block of 1968, were demolished in 2025–26. The sheet also names the British Museum frontage on Great Russell Street, the Bloomsbury Dispensary and the Harris furniture and antique premises. Goad's plans were kept to assess property and fire risk, and they were updated with pasted slips recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. On this sheet the latest dated corrections are vacancy annotations of September 1970.
