The images displayed here are scans of half of each dissected section of the plan, slightly cropped for neatness.

The average image size of the Whitbread map sections is approximately 600KB. I do apologise for the size of some of these images. The aim was to maintain a high quality image that could be clearly read. At 56KB dial-up connection speed each page will take about 100 seconds to fully load, although some pages (such as Bishopsgate & Bermondsey) can take approximately 2 minutes to load.

Please be patient, as it is worth the wait.
