A MAP of LONDON, WESTMINSTER and SOUTHWARK. With ye New Buildings to ye Year 1733
This pocket map of London was published as the frontispiece to Volume I of "A Survey of the cities of London and Westminster, Borough of Southwark", by Robert Seymour.

The marked similarity of this map to the William Roades' 1731pocket map is testimony to this. The title of this drawing appears in a square tablet at top left, with prominent buildings shown pictorially. Robert Seymou (pseudonym of John Mottley)

This map highlights in red the boundaries of the old London Wall, built by the Romans. By the end of the 17th Century it had become an anachronistic nuisance.

Most of the gates were pulled down in 1760/1, wtih Newgate, the last to survive, demolished in 1777. Noorthouck, John
