Thanks for this link. This is the best map I have seen of London for this period. I think this should be moved to the London & Middlesex Resources.

Also on this site are all of the English OS Series 2  maps 1893-1909 at 1" to the mile and various later series.
Other than London, only Scotland is covered at 6" or 25" scale. If you are using the Graphic Index it is generally more useful to choose the 1920s map as a background.

I just noticed: the header to this thread should read "1893 London Maps 5ft to 1mile"
