Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 48 [Finsbury Circus, Moorgate, London Wall and Britannic House]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 48, covers Finsbury Circus, the City's largest garden square, together with Moorgate and London Wall (EC2). Lutyens's Britannic House of 1924–27 was built for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which became BP, and it is listed Grade II* and now houses Stephenson Harwood. The gardens' bowling green of 1925 was removed when Crossrail made them a worksite from 2010 to 2020, and the redesigned gardens reopened in May 2025. 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. Goad's plans were compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept current with pasted slips recording new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, but no individual correction on this sheet carries a date. The sheet was reissued in August 1935, with a 1949 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include South Place, Eldon Street, Wilson Street and Circus Place.
