London - Home Page
Our collection of old postcards of London is arranged by London Borough. There are links to each of the
Boroughs just below, although we have not yet covered all of them. You will also see that we have a few
extra pages for postcards of, for example, theatres and railway stations.
We hope that this will make it easier to locate postcards of a particular place, and we have included a list of
the areas covered by each borough on the relevant page. See below for a note on London Street Names.

London Street Names.
There are of course many thousands of street in London, and each has a name. The origins of some of these
names are discussed in a series of short articles which can be found at
London On Line.
Over the years streets have changed due to redevelopment, bombing during WW2 etc. Many streets have
been renamed, a process which started in 1857 and continued until 1945, with of course new names being
added to this day as new areas are developed. This can make it quite difficult to locate some streets, but
there is an excellent website which lists name changes - go to it
here.
