Just about my favourite maps of London are the Ordnance Survey maps which were produced at the turn of the 1870s. They are works of beauty and clarity.

Southfields District Line station would appear later at the centre of this extract on the site of the building called 'Elm Lodge'.

The area didn't have a name so it inherited the name of a large field marked on the map as 'South Field' and added an 's'.
