Maps of Westminster
Description: The lack of street planning in the West End had been lamented by the architect John Gwynn in 1766 and he had suggested a plan along similar lines to the one shown here. In 1811 Portland Place would revert to the Crown, and without a new road to decrease travelling time to the city centre, profitable development of the land was unlikely.
Contibutor: Basire, James
