Re: The Gates of Old London
Wonderful set - it would make a very handsome set to hang in my downstairs closet. I think only St John's is still standing today (in part)

Re: The Gates of Old London
Perhaps the most interesting early map of London is the copperplate map of 1554-8 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copperplate_map_of_London), which is regarded as very accurate and detailed for its date. The surviving fragments of the map show Ludgate, Newgate, Moorgate and Bishopsgate - the latter two in the most detail. London looks such a tightly packed and interesting place.
