The sheet shows the Royal Academy sharing its courtyard with the Linnean Society, the Geological Society and the Chemical Society. All of them are still there today, and the Chemical Society has been the Royal Society of Chemistry since 1980. Behind Burlington House, the sheet shows the British Museum's Ethnographical Department occupying the building later known as the Museum of Mankind, which closed in 1997. That use has gone, and 6 Burlington Gardens is now part of the Royal Academy's enlarged campus, linked through to Piccadilly in 2018. Fortnum \u0026amp; Mason, founded in 1707, still trades at 181 Piccadilly, and the Burlington Arcade of 1819 is still patrolled by its beadles, while the Royal Arcade and Princes Arcade are also marked. Goad's plans were compiled to assess property and fire risk, and they were corrected with pasted overlays as uses changed, layouts altered and buildings fell or rose; the sheet's latest dated correction is October 1970. The sheet was reissued in September 1938, with a 1950 copyright date, and the Volume IX key plan, acquired with the same group, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Albemarle Street, Jermyn Street, Burlington Gardens, Vigo Street, Sackville Street, Stafford Street and Duke Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371690545499,"sku":"P-9-001080","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001080a_90a64b90-baee-40fd-a549-74645ecdd11f.jpg?v=1792148971"},{"product_id":"goad-london-234b-w1-mayfair-piccadilly-brown-s-hotel-dover-st-1930-1970-map-p-9-001104","title":"Goad London 234B—W1—Mayfair—Piccadilly—Brown's Hotel—Dover St 1930 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 234B [Mayfair: Piccadilly, Berkeley Street, Dover Street and Brown's Hotel]\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 234B, covers Mayfair's Piccadilly, Berkeley Street and Dover Street (W1), with Brown's Hotel at its heart. The hotel is shown as Brown's \u0026amp; St George's, after it absorbed its neighbour in 1889, and it still trades, having been run by Rocco Forte since 2003. Thomas Cook \u0026amp; Son's successor collapsed on 23 September 2019, and its name has since been relaunched online. The Mayfair Hotel, which opened on Stratton Street in 1927, is now in the Radisson Collection. Devonshire House is the office block of 1924–26 that replaced the Dukes of Devonshire's mansion. Oxford University Press closed its London office in the 1970s, and Green Park Underground station opened in 1906 as Dover Street. Goad's plans were compiled for property and fire-risk assessment and kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction identified here shows the hotel development at the southern end of Berkeley Street at foundation stage in October 1970. The sheet is an extension dated September 1930, with a 1950 copyright date, and a key plan covering this area, acquired with the same group of maps, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Grafton Street, Albemarle Street, Stafford Street, Stratton Street, Lansdowne Row and Hay Hill.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371700900187,"sku":"P-9-001104","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001104a_b9f3781d-4320-4864-b4a9-97663a9c1bb6.jpg?v=1792148991"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/stafford-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
