"Thomas Milne’s Land Use Map of London and Environs in 1800" built upon work by the cartographer between 1795 and 1799. It provides an unique and rare glimpse into the land usage in London during that time. What sets Milne’s map apart from its predecessors is not only its ambitious scope and accurate information but also its innovative presentation. Using a colour code and lettering system, Milne effectively distinguishes between twelve different land-use categories, resulting in an unparalleled depiction of London and its surrounding areas during a period of rapid transformation. On this section in particular, we can see the line of the New Road (Marylebone Road and Euston Road) in its attempt to curtail the northern growth of the capital. The footprint of the then-future Regent’s Park is evident. Over on the right side of the map, Battle Bridge - still surrounded by fields - will be the future King’s Cross
