Explore antique maps and prints of the City of London, the historic Square Mile at the heart of the capital. The collection brings together general plans, detailed ward maps, architectural engravings and riverside views, tracing streets, churches and civic landmarks across centuries. Highlights include John Leake’s survey of the Great Fire, plans from Stow and Strype’s surveys, Horwood’s detailed mapping, and later work by Bacon and Charles Goad. Views of Guildhall, the Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the City churches complement maps recording commercial expansion, railway development and post-war reconstruction. From St Paul’s and Cheapside to Bishopsgate and the Thames, these works illuminate both familiar landmarks and a vanished City of courts, markets, livery halls and narrow lanes. They reward close study by London collectors.
