Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 234B [Mayfair: Piccadilly, Berkeley Street, Dover Street and Brown's Hotel]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 234B, covers Mayfair's Piccadilly, Berkeley Street and Dover Street (W1), with Brown's Hotel at its heart. The hotel is shown as Brown's & St George's, after it absorbed its neighbour in 1889, and it still trades, having been run by Rocco Forte since 2003. Thomas Cook & Son's successor collapsed on 23 September 2019, and its name has since been relaunched online. The Mayfair Hotel, which opened on Stratton Street in 1927, is now in the Radisson Collection. Devonshire House is the office block of 1924–26 that replaced the Dukes of Devonshire's mansion. Oxford University Press closed its London office in the 1970s, and Green Park Underground station opened in 1906 as Dover Street. Goad's plans were compiled for property and fire-risk assessment and kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction identified here shows the hotel development at the southern end of Berkeley Street at foundation stage in October 1970. The sheet is an extension dated September 1930, with a 1950 copyright date, and a key plan covering this area, acquired with the same group of maps, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Grafton Street, Albemarle Street, Stafford Street, Stratton Street, Lansdowne Row and Hay Hill.
