Old Ordnance Survey Town Plans of London

  • These highly detailed maps, at a scale of 1:1760 or a Yard to the Mile, cover parts of central London in exceptional detail. They are available through our On-line Mapshop

  • Here are the details of the map for Forest Gate:

  • London Large Scale Sheet 08.03 Forest Gate 1867-93 - published 2025. Intro by Tony Kirby. ISBN.978-1-78721-896-3

    This very detailed map covers the Forest Gate area, east of Stratford. Features include Caernarvon Hall, the Industrial School (shown in detail) and the streets and houses around Globe Crescent north of the railway.

    On the reverse we include the 1893 map, showing the same area at a later stage. By then the streets are more fully built up and St James's Church has been built. We also include an introduction to the history of the area.

    The map links up with sheet 8.02 Stratford New Town to the west.
