| Grosvenor Place | London location | 1 | Home of Louisa Buxted; SW of Green Park. In modern times, forms SW border of Buckingham Palace Grounds. | |
| Albemarle Street | London location | 1 | Former home of Buxteds; leads north off Piccadilly just east of Green Park | |
| Upper Wimpole Street | London location | 2 | Hired house of Frederica et al; S of Marylebone Rd, E of Portland Place | |
| Carlton House | London location | 2 | On the S side of Pall Mall close to St. James's Palace. Residence of the Prince of Wales when Princess Charlotte was born in 1796. The Prince of Wales (later Regent and George IV) built Carlton House for his private residence and incurred great debt while so doing. | |
| Harley Street | London location | 3 | Where Aunt Amelia's home is located; near Upper Wimpole St. just south of Marylebone Rd. | |
| Mayfair | London location | 3 | Fashionable district just N of Piccadilly, E of Hyde Park | |
| New Road | London location | 4 | Where the Catch-me-who-can ran. Modern location of New Road is in E London (Whitechapel), N of Commercial Rd, S of Whitechapel Rd. | Not sure if the current New Road on London map is same as one referred to in book. Anne has a theory that it's near Torrington Square where she believes the Catch-me-who-Can ran. She thinks that "New Road" became the present-day New Oxford Street. Does anyone have more information on exact locations? |
| Montague House | London location | 4 | There were 4 possible Montague Houses during this period. 1) Located in Greenwich Park near Blackheath. This Montague House was rented by the Prince Regent in 1798 to be used by his wife, Princess Caroline. Essentially, he wanted her out from under his own roof, their marriage being extremely unhappy. 2) Home to the Duke of Buccleuch, located in Whitehall. 3) "This Montague House was built for Elizabeth Montague. It was on the north west angle of Portman Sq. Much later it was the house of Lord Rokeby - but I think that was well after the Regency." 4) The present-day site of the British Museum was originally called Montague House. It is separated from Torrington Square, where Anne has determined the railway ran, by just one block. So we believe this is the Montague House to which the text refers. Felix thought the Catch-me-Who-Can was located "not far from Montague House", and Alverstoke said it was near Fitzroy Square, both of which basically fit the present-day British Museum. | Was the Montague House in Greenwich Park demolished or had its name changed? All my current guidebooks that have sections on Greenwich Park don't mention it. |
| Fitzroy Square | London location | 4 | Locomotive ran "not far from Fitzroy Sq"; the square is between Portland Place and Tottenham Court Rd., 2 blocks S of Euston Rd. | |
| Hookham's Library | London location | 4 | Hookham's library was in Old Bond Street near Gentleman Jackson's boxing place. Circulating libraries in London date from 1740 when a Mr Wright established one at 132 Strand, Dr Franklin writes in 1725 that circulating libraries were not in use. By 1770 there were four circulating libraries in London. The first free library in London was not established until 1853. It was in Marylebone. | |
