'The City Road. Finsbury Circus to the “Angel,” Islington'
A perspective map view of the City Road from Finsbury Circus to the Angel, Islington, capturing the sweep of this major London transport artery. At the lower edge are Finsbury Circus, Moorfields Eye Hospital and Broad Street Station, with the adjoining Liverpool Street Terminus and Bishopsgate Station also prominently depicted. Moving north, the view encompasses Finsbury Square, Chiswell Street, the Wesleyan Chapel, Bunhill Fields and the Honourable Artillery Company’s ground. Along City Road itself appear St Luke’s Church and the St Luke’s Lunatic Asylum, with Clerkenwell and Goswell Road branching to the west. Further on are the Eagle Tavern and St Matthew’s Church, while to the east lie the City Road Basin and the Regent’s Canal. The vista culminates at the Angel, Islington, with the Angel Hotel, Grand Theatre and Agricultural Hall (later the Royal Agricultural Hall) clearly identified. The map balances architectural detail with a clear street pattern, illustrating the mixture of transport termini, commercial premises, religious institutions and entertainment venues that made the City Road a distinctive thoroughfare linking the City of London with the fast-growing districts of Clerkenwell and Islington in the late Victorian period.
