There is a particularly important building located near the Thames called the Custom House, and it is where merchants pay their duties for their goods and declare what merchandise they’d like to sell in England (De Saussure 84). It’s usually so crowded with merchants and captains of vessels that making your way in the building is typically an arduous task. Custom-house officers are tasked with vetting merchandise and are known for being skilled at what they do.

Moorfields is an open space in the center of London. Moorfields had pretty green grass that went from the wall all the way to the countryside. The wall was the London wall which was used as a defense method built by the Romans. There was a Western and Eastern growth of London and Moorfields separated the two. The fields of Moorfeild were separated into four different areas. There were little Moorfield and Moorfield proper these were located North of Londons wall, Bedlam insane asylum was located here. Little Moorfield was near Moorgate street and was inside the Coleman Street Ward. 

Moorgate is the city center and the central business district of the city of London. It was a postern in the London wall built by the Romans. In the 15th century was then turned into a gate.The Moorgate was then demolished in 1762. The name lives on as a major street in the city of London. There are historic and contemporary office buildings.On his way to Moorfields , one must past Moorgate which is surrounded by trees. There is a beautiful huge hospital which takes up all the width of the place.

The city of London was enclosed by stone walls and gates erected during the middle ages. However, because so many houses were built during that time, London was joined to Westminster. It was joined to Westminster because many of the houses were built on the western side of London, outside the city walls. London was divided by three parts, the first part was called the City. The City was surrounded by the stone walls mentioned above, and the people who resided there were mostly merchants. The second part of London was the Liberty of Westminster.

St Paul’s Cathedral is located opposite or across from Ludgate. This cathedral took fifty years to build and was constructed from white stone imported from Portland. In the final construct the building was in the shape of a cross, which was 700 ft long, 150 ft wide, and over 150 ft in height. Because this building was so big, there are many architectural aspects that needed to be added for the strucural stability of the building; one being columns for support.  

Charing Cross was a triangular-shaped intersection connecting Whitehall and The Strand at the site of the Mews (De Saussure, 1902, p. 66). In the intersection, there was a large bronze statue of King Charles I on a horse. This statue was to memorialize the King who was executed just down the street at Whitehall.

The Admiralty was home to the government department in command of the Royal Navy of England. “The chief, or president, of the Admiralty resides here,” noted De Saussure (1902, p. 66). The Board and other directors of the Navy were primarily noblemen who gather daily to work within the Admiralty. It is likely for there to be “many well-known sea-captains and men on business intent” in the building as well (p. 66).

The Monument is described as a pyramid or a column that was "raised by order of Parliament".  It is located in the same spot where the 1666 fire broke out. During this fire, about two-thirds of the City was destroyed.

The Royal Exchange is a spacious building that is built in a modern style with Portland stone. The front of the Royal Exchange looks towards Cornhill. There is also a tower above that chimes with different tunes. The inside has a large court with two small gates and two large gates that lead into the court.

The Gate of Westminster sits in front of the Banqueting Hall and is remarkable for its gothic architecture. It is sometimes confused with the Holbein Gate as they are in a close proximity. Cesar de Saussure says in his letter that is was “ in this wide street that a scaffold was erected, adjoining the banqueting house, and the fortunate King Charles I., stepping through one of the windows, was led to the block, where he lost his head” (66).
