      • Neighbourhoods (mdt:mdtEncyclopediaLocationNeighbourhood)
        London’s official political jurisdictions are parishes, wards, and liberties. Early modern texts also talk about areas that we might call neighbourhoods. They do not lend themselves to being mapped on the Agas map platform underlying The Map of Early Modern London because they do not have clear boundaries; however, they were significant to the early modern imagination and are mentioned throughout the texts we cite. These areas encompass many features of the streetscape and landscape, and often cross jurisdictional boundaries. The following list will be expanded as MoEML’s other pages make reference to neighbourhoods.

      • Topographical Features (mdt:mdtEncyclopediaLocationTopographical)
        By the early modern period, the natural topography of the site upon which London was built had been largely overwritten by urban development. The names of streets, sites, and churches attest to the springs and rivers that were once visible. For example, the Walbrook had been bricked over, but it was still the imaginary boundary between east and west London. We list here a few topographical features to which we intend to devote pages in the future.
