Boyle's View of London and its Environs —  £ 5.99
Go to the eBook Shop Patrick Boyle had been publishing his 'Court-City Guide' for some time before he decided there could be a need for a more general work that might be met 'with encouragement in the polite and commercial world'. This book is the result.

It was small enough to fit in a pocket and could be used by anyone needing to find their way around London, find a place to worship or meet like-minded people. It includes not just streets and business premises, but also Coffee Houses, Inns, Dissenters Meetings, Places of Entertainment and a complete list of Freemasons Lodges etc. There are over 10,000 entries in total. A fascinating glimpse of 18th century London with many wonderful, unfortunately long-gone place names.

This eBook version contains the entire text. Please see the extract below for a list of the contents and a selection of entries.

This turned out to be the only edition, although a reprint was published in 1802.
