Stanford's Map Of The British Metropolis And Suburbs: A Brief Description: Stanford's Map of the British Metropolis and Suburbs at a scale of 3 inches to one mile is one of the most and detailed maps of London and its surrounding areas produced in the late 19th century. Published by Edward Stanford, this map was on half the scale of his renowned 6 inches to a mile but still provided a detailed view of Victorian London, reflecting its rapid expansion, industrialisation, and the growth of its suburbs. The 3-inch-to-a-mile scale still allowed for a fine level of detail, making it useful for both practical and commercial purposes, as well as an important historical record.
