This is the edition marked “obsolete”, and it preserves both the plot of the St James's Theatre, which was demolished in 1957 despite a campaign by Olivier and Vivien Leigh, and the earlier club occupancies. Arthur's Club closed in 1940, and its house was taken over by the Carlton Club, which had been bombed out of its own building. The Conservative Club left in 1959, the Royal Societies Club was bombed out in 1941, and the Thatched House Club is also marked, while Boodle's Club, Brooks's Club, Dukes Hotel and the Stafford Hotel all survive. Goad's plans were drawn to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays as uses and buildings changed; on this sheet the Army \u0026amp; Navy Club is labelled “Under cons. Sept. 1926”, which is the latest explicitly dated correction. The printed base heading is dated March 1889. The replacement edition, resurveyed and reissued in September 1940 with a 1950 copyright date, was later amended to show bank and office premises on the theatre site and the Carlton Club in place of Arthur's Club. Regular updating of this predecessor ceased around the time of the 1940 reissue. Other streets on the sheet include Duke Street, Arlington Street, Bennet Street, Ryder Street, St James's Place, Park Place, Cleveland Row and Little St James's Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371689202011,"sku":"P-9-001075","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001075a_5eab348d-9fa8-45c0-b80c-a6cd5f564cd7.jpg?v=1792148967"},{"product_id":"goad-london-208-sw1-king-st-james-s-jermyn-streets-pall-mall-1940-1970-map-p-9-001076","title":"Goad London 208—SW1—King, St James's \u0026 Jermyn Streets—Pall Mall 1940 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 208 [St James's Street, Jermyn Street, Pall Mall and King Street]\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 208, covers the clubs and hotels of St James's (SW1).

Later amendments on the sheet show it in place of Arthur's Club, as well as offices on the former St James's Theatre site. The sheet also names Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Ltd, Lloyds Bank and the Constitutional Club, which closed in 1979, together with Dukes Hotel and the Stafford Hotel, both of which are still trading. Goad's plans were compiled to assess property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted slips as uses and buildings changed. At Beresford House on St James's Street, an annotation in the Overseas League premises marks the basement and first floor vacant in October 1970, which is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1940, with a 1950 copyright date, and it superseded the March 1889 edition, an example of which is marked “obsolete”.

The London Library has been at No. 14 since 1845, and Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, has been at No. 10 since 1923. The clubs here fared in different ways. The Army \u0026amp; Navy Club rebuilt its Pall Mall clubhouse in 1963 and remains there, whereas the Junior Carlton Club replaced its Victorian house with offices in 1963–68 and merged into the Carlton Club in 1977. The Sports Club had already merged into the East India Club at No. 16 in 1938. On Jermyn Street, Rosa Lewis's Cavendish Hotel closed in June 1962 and reopened, rebuilt, in July 1966. Goad's plans were working documents for assessing property and fire risk, and they were updated with pasted overlays noting new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building.

Today the north side of Russia Row and Trump Street lies under 30 Gresham Street, Land Securities' block of 2002–03, which was the largest speculative office scheme in the capital when it was built.

Midland passed to HSBC in 1992 and lost its name in 1999.
