Antique Map of London (1901) — Edward Stanford, Outer London, Charing Cross Edition

A detailed Edwardian-era map of London and its expanding suburbs, published in 1901 by Edward Stanford, the renowned London geographer and mapmaker. Issued as part of Stanford’s London Atlas of Universal Geography, this plate captures London at the turn of the century, on the threshold of becoming the world’s first true megacity.

The City of London appears in vivid yellow, while the growing outer boroughs, from Hampstead and Kensington to Greenwich and Croydon, are shown in red, symbolizing the spread of the metropolis into once-rural Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent. The Thames River snakes through the heart of the composition, flanked by docks, railways, and newly emerging neighborhoods that would soon define modern London.

Relief is shown with delicate hachures, emphasizing the topography of the surrounding hills and valleys. This was a period of immense transformation — electric trams, suburban rail, and industrial expansion, all captured with Stanford’s signature clarity and elegance.

A quintessential piece of London cartographic history, reflecting both the precision of late Victorian mapping and the optimism of Edwardian progress. Perfect for collectors of British maps, urban history, and Edward Stanford’s legendary cartographic works.
