A map of Georgian London, extending from Knightsbridge to Wapping, and from Marylebone to Lambeth.

The map claims to show the latest improvements, including some which have not been shown on any previous map. Westminster Bridge, completed in 1750, is shown on the map, but there is no indication of Blackfriars Bridge which would have been under construction in 1761 but was not complete until 1769.

London was already a sizeable city by the 1760s with a population of approximately 740,000. The new western developments in Mayfair were largely complete, though little had yet been built north of Oxford Street or west of Hyde Park Corner. Belgravia is completely empty, Knightsbridge is nothing more than a small collection of houses along the turnpike road out of London, and most areas south of the river were still farms, orchards, and gardens.
