The map indicates a number of proposed road and rail developments. These noteably include 1) the construction of a rail line across Hungerford Bridge, connecting to the lines running south from Waterloo station and east to the lines running out of London from London Bridge station (Charing Cross station was opened in 1864 with rail lines connecting to existing lines running out of London Bridge station via a different route); 2) A Thames Embankment (on which construction started in 1862); 3) A new bridge over the Thames between Blackfriars and Waterloo (never built); 4) A new road bridge over the Thames east of the Tower (construction started in 1886); 5) A new road and rail bridge over the Thames running south from St Paul's Cathedral (The Millenium foot bridge was completed nearby in 2000); 6) Major new roads connecting the above running east-west and north-south through Southwark (never built)
