Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 210 [St James's: Regent Street, Haymarket, Pall Mall and Her Majesty's Theatre]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 210, covers the Haymarket, Regent Street and Waterloo Place (SW1). Her Majesty's Theatre, which has been home to The Phantom of the Opera since 1986, became His Majesty's in May 2023, and in that same month the Carlton Theatre of 1927 closed as the Empire Haymarket. The Paramount Plaza Theatre, Paramount's picture palace of 1926, survives as the Vue Piccadilly. Nearby, the basement BBC studio marked at 12 Lower Regent Street identifies the Paris Theatre, still used by the BBC in the sheet's day and closed in 1995. The Beatles recorded three editions of Pop Go The Beatles here on 16 July 1963; Led Zeppelin's BBC concert followed on 1 April 1971 and Pink Floyd's on 30 September 1971, both after this sheet's final dated correction. The Guards Monument, cast from Sevastopol cannon, still stands, and the Ceylon Tea Centre and the Bank of Montreal are also marked. The sheet shows printing rooms, engravers and showrooms hidden behind the theatres and banks, trades that were easily overlooked at street level. Around St James's Market, the compact blocks of the sheet's day were redeveloped with offices, shops, restaurants and a public square, completed in 2016. Goad's plans were produced to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept up to date with pasted revisions noting new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding; the sheet's latest dated correction is October 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in October 1942, 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 Pall Mall, Jermyn Street, Charles II Street, Carlton Street, Norris Street and Babmaes Street.
