Salisbury House of 1899–1901 is still used as offices, River Plate House was rebuilt as 8 Finsbury Circus in 2016, and Moorgate Station gained its Elizabeth line link in 2022. Of the banks on the sheet, Midland Bank became HSBC in 1999, and National Provincial Bank merged into National Westminster Bank on 1 January 1970.

The Metropolitan Railway platforms shown on the sheet still serve the Circle line at Liverpool Street. All Hallows on the Wall Church, George Dance the Younger's work of 1767, survives and is listed Grade I. London Wall Buildings of 1901, Finsbury House and Park House are also listed and still stand.
