Thank you David for the link.
I love maps and that one is absolutely fascinating. I particularly like the 'streets' option and I was surprised how few taverns there were, perhaps they haven't all been 'found'.

Thank you for posting this - we do have a link to another version of it on our London and Middlesex page through Mapco > London maps:
We generally only post the Home pages of sites unless they are especially difficult to navigate.
I noticed while looking though, that there a couple of broken links on the Maps section of the page which need fixing .... so time for housekeeping soon and I will see if I can include this link.
If you come across any other useful links, the best place for posting them is in the comments box on a relevant page as otherwise they may be missed.Caroline

If you enjoy this map I recommend reading 'A survey of London written in the year 1598 by John Stow'. It's a detailed description of the city and like the map is a valuable record of the city before the great fire. Read it and use this map to follow his route and then spot the buildings he is describing - all well worth while.Phil
