Suburban streets and the edges of the metropolis are mapped in detail in the Geographia Greater London Atlas, published by Geographia in London, with twentieth-century sheets extending into 1965. The examples include Chislehurst and Petts Wood, Crayford and Dartford, West Drayton and Hayes, Richmond Park and Roehampton, and Dagenham and Hornchurch, with a sheet around Heathrow and Staines on the western approach. Read together, neighbouring sheets show how each district fitted into the growing capital, and their dates give a fixed point for comparing road patterns and place names.
