Notes
Soane's works at the Palace of Westminster - the new Law Courts adjoining Westminster Hall and the alterations and additions to the House of Lords - are shown in pink wash. The Lords' Committee Rooms towards the River Thames were completed in 1827, and so the drawing must have been made in or after that year.
