Notice on a US alerting list. Hope it's of interest, and that people don't already know all about it. (Haven't checked it myself.) Roger Fern. Greenwood's Map of London 1827 http://users.bathspa.ac.uk/greenwood/ Developed by Mark Annand, this rather compelling fully interactive online version of Greenwood's Map of London from 1827 is a real treat for persons interested in the history of cartography or for those with any interest in the city of London and its urban form. Interestingly enough, the map captures London in a historical moment right before its growth would become exponential over the coming decades as it grew into one of the world's great cities. Visitors can click on a large version of the map, then continue on into the various precincts of London with great detail and resolution. Visitors the site may also want to consult a list of place names also featured on the site, which will allow them to move quickly to any number of places. From the list, visitors may go immediately to the map panel containing Covent Garden, Marylebone, Vauxhall, and the British Museum. [KMG] From The Scout Report, 21.11.2003.
