This map of the northern part of Lambeth marked inns, parks and places of interest to the public. The area adjacent to the river near the Borough High Street was the most developed with dense housing and many industries in contrast to the open land further south. North Brixton, seen at the centre, called Holland Town, was developed by Henry Vassall, 3rd Baron Holland of Foxley, commemorated by 'Holland' Grove, 'Vassall' and 'Foxley' Roads. Of note are the Zoological Gardens near the Kennington Road, which were to become the temporary home of St Thomas's Hospital in 1862, before it moved to its present position in 1871. Note also the Hungerford Pier, in 1839 plans were laid to build a suspension footbridge designed by Isambard Brunel which was completed in 1845.
