Regency England - London Street Views - Ackermann's Repository

Ackermann's Repository presented many view of London on its pages through the Regency era.
Many of these were either very fashionable addresses or popular streets of their day.
I enjoy looking at these since they give me a better idea of what London streets and thoroughfares were like in Regency times.  So much has changed in 200 years.

Most of the streets shown are for London and surrounding areas;
however there are a few from other areas of England


New Bridge Street - Blackfriars

With each street view, Ackermann's also included a detailed article about the location 
and interesting information about buildings in the area. 
Here is the Ackermann's article about New Bride Street
