The plan shows the River Thames crossed by Westminster Bridge, Lambeth Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge and Southwark Bridge, with Waterloo Station, St Thomas' Hospital and Lambeth Palace beside it. The great change is Bethlehem Hospital on Lambeth Road, where the asylum left for Beckenham in 1930 and its building reopened as the Imperial War Museum in July 1936. Lambeth Palace remains the Archbishop of Canterbury's residence, while Waterloo served as the Eurostar terminal from 1994 to 2007. The key plan shows which detailed sheet covers each block. Those detailed sheets were used to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The key plan itself retains its June 1889 base heading and explicitly records revision to March 1971.

The GLC was abolished in 1986 and the London Marriott Hotel County Hall opened in 1998, as the riverfront turned from municipal administration to hospitality. The sheet also names County Hall South Block and St Thomas' House, the students' memorial club of 1927, as well as the Riddell House swimming baths in the nurses' home of 1936–37. The St Thomas' Hospital redevelopment site is labelled as lacking available plans in March 1971, and the hospital's thirteen-storey North Wing followed in 1975. The plan was kept to assess property and fire risk, and it was amended with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building.

County Hall itself now houses hotels and attractions, and its South Block is now apartments.

The sheet is drawn in outline, with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans, and it keeps the earlier commercial layout.

Bottling, engineering, repairs and storage around the railway extend this picture beyond the newspaper works and timber yard, showing the station's role in a working industrial neighbourhood.
