There is still a “Cock” on the site, a superb 1930’s Trumans rebuild, now an independent brewpub ..
But it does not appear on the 1915/2015 sketch-map.
Why not?

The maps are marvellous, the news items well selected, and the comparison of shop premises a hundred years on tells us so much. Well done Adam Dant!

(http://bit.ly/1zRU7ED) Perhaps to Hyde Park, where the Palace was originally sited?
