When this map was published:

Our journey starts in 1707 with a map that shows London still not much bigger than the area within its ancient walls. Cramped within these confines was a population of maybe 550,000 or so. As today, London was a city of migrants, initially mainly from the British Isles but increasingly as time went by it became a haven for those looking for a better life or fleeing persecution from all over the world. By 1850 the census revealed a city of over 3 million souls, 1 million of whom were born elsewhere. The migrants brought with them the idea that skills played a major part in making London the largest and richest city the world had ever seen. The city’s banks controlled more assets than much of the world combined. This seething mass of people needed to be able to travel around without losing their way and the wealthy especially did not want to get lost in the crime infested slums of London’s back streets.
