Synopsis

Mogg's New Picture Of London; Or, Strangers' Guide To The British Metropolis by Edward Mogg is an 1848 pocket guide to London and its environs. The work presents a concise yet comprehensive survey of the metropolis, combining origin and early history, modern growth, and practical information for residents and visitors. It includes prefatory remarks by an Editor, and an extensive Appendix offering a visitor's guide to the sights, hours, admission to public buildings, hours and admission to theatres, museums, and scientific institutions, and a plan for viewing London in eight days. The volume is rich with lists of public buildings, churches, theatres, markets, parks, and monuments, together with routes and maps, and wealthy with notice of major landmarks: St Paul's, the Tower, Windsor, Greenwich, the British Museum, and the Royal Exchange. It also includes practical travel aids: Omnibus guide, hackney coach fares, railway guides, and a country-round map. The book aims to facilitate exploration of the metropolis—residents, foreigners, and casual visitors alike—by condensing information into a compact pocket volume.
