Only three copies of Civitas Londinium, which shows the capital during Tudor times, are known to exist

The oldest surviving complete map of London is to go on display as part of a new exhibition.

Civitas Londinium was created in the 1570s and gives a view across the capital, from the bear-baiting pits of Southwark to the fields of Highgate.

Other maps to feature include a survey of the damage caused by the Great Fire of London and ones highlighting the spread of disease in Victorian times.

They will all form part of a display at the London Metropolitan Archives.

We acknowledge that in Milwaukee we live and work on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee homelands along the southwest shores of Michigami, part of North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee, and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida, and Mohican nations remain present.
