There are no roads inwards the City of London.
There are yet a lot of streets, alleys as well as lanes. The feel of the give-and-take 'road' to betoken a byway did non emerge until the belatedly 16th Century - a long fourth dimension afterwards most of the roads inwards the City of London were established as well as were already named.
This isn't the exclusively interesting fact close the street names of roads inwards London. Streets of London is a map of the City of London which allows y'all to uncovering the etymological history of London route names. Click on a highlighted route on the map as well as y'all tin dismiss detect out why the selected route is called what it is as well as where its advert originally came from.
The map itself was real tardily to make. I essentially started past times simply adding polylines to a Leaflet map. However it rapidly became apparent that in that place were a release of themes emerging inwards the names of London's streets, especially relating to London's medieval markets, the Inns of Court as well as the history of banking inwards the City.
I hence decided to purpose Leaflet's Layer Groups as well as Layers Control to furnish an tardily agency for map users to filter the roads shown on the map past times dissimilar categories. You tin dismiss practise this past times using the map carte inwards the summit right-hand corner of the map.
I likewise wanted to furnish a footling historical background for roughly of these categories. I've added pop-up windows for a few of the route categories. However these exclusively seem on the map when y'all plow on ane of the relevant categories from the map carte (all categories are initially selected as well as so these pop-ups volition exclusively seem afterwards y'all plow off a category as well as plow it on again).
