Can anyone link me to an online map? That oldmaps website never works for me. I want to looks at City of London / Westminster areas. Thank you

I used to have a number of other maps but many of the links seem to be broken.

Added: Cross's 1851 London map has a lot of detail. A lot of good maps are/were on Mapco, which is giving an error message. Don't know if it is a glitch or something more serious. :(

This is a lot later than you are looking for, but there seems to be a lot of detail:

Once again, later than what you want:

Of course, it might depend on what you are looking for as to which map might help.
