John Rocque's Map Of London, Westminster, And Southwark, 1746
In 1746, the French-born British surveyor and cartographer John Rocque produced two maps of London and the surrounding area. The better known of these has the full name ''A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark'': it is a map of Georgian London to a scale of 26 inches to a mile (i.e. 1:2437), surveyed by John Rocque, engraved by John Pine, and published in 1746. It consists of 24 sheets and measures . Taking nearly ten years to survey, engrave and publish, it has been described as "a magnificent example of cartography ... one of the greatest and most handsome plans of any city". Also in 1746, Rocque published another, smaller-scale, map of London, Westminster, Southwark, and their environs in sixteen sheets: its full name is ''An Exact Survey of the city's of London Westminster ye Borough of Southwark and the Country near ten miles round / begun in 1741 & ended in 1745 by John Rocque Land Surveyor; & Engrav'd by Richard Parr''.

Bankside
Bankside is an area of London, England, within the London Borough of Southwark. Bankside is located on the southern bank of the River Thames, east of Charing Cross, running from a little west of Blackfriars Bridge to just a short distance before London Bridge at St Mary Overie Dock. It is part of a business improvement district known as 'Better Bankside'. History Toponymy The 'banke' was reclaimed by the Bishop of Winchester who owned the manor of the Clink of which this is part. There is a map plan in the Duchy of Lancaster archive showing 'the way to the banke'. The name is recorded in 1554 as ''the Banke syde'' and means 'street along the bank of the Thames'. In 1860 Southwark Street was created to connect the Blackfriars and London bridge crossings here and that can be regarded as the area's informal southern perimeter. Urban development Bankside is the riverside of the former liberties of the Clink and Paris Garden. In the Elizabethan period, because it was outside the ...

White Hart, Southwark
The White Hart Inn was a coaching inn located on Borough High Street in Southwark. The inn is first recorded in 1406 but likely dates back to the late fourteenth century as the White Hart was the symbol of Richard II of England, Richard II. At the time Southwark was separate from the City of London north of the River Thames. In 1450 the inn was the headquarters of Jack Cade's Rebellion. The earlier inn was destroyed in the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676, but was rebuilt. It was located close to other coaching inns including The Tabard and The George Inn, Southwark, The George Inn, and like the George had a galleried structure. It was demolished in 1889. A separate pub of the same name, its building still dating from the Victorian era, opened some distance to the west on Great Suffolk Street in 1882. It appears in William Shakespeare's 1591 play ''Henry IV, Part 2'', which concerns Cade's rebellion. In the 1836 novel ''Pickwick Papers'' by Charles Dickens, the White Hart is where ...
