Mrs F sells her jewels—part 2

Part 1 [bityl.co/Fq36] looked at why I couldn’t send Mrs F across town to a jeweller & needed to find a local one.
I don’t know #London well so I didn’t use a modern map: roads get renamed, or indeed demolished [bityl.co/Fq3j]. I started with Matthew Sangster’s amazing compilation of area maps [bityl.co/Fq3j] to narrow down some #Year1819 streets close to her base in #CavendishSquare.

Extract from a map of London by Richard Horwood updated in 1819 by William Faden (royal geographer to King George III) centred on Cavendish Square and showing nearby streets.  On each street, the divisions between houses are marked and each house is individually numbered.  Amazingly, the shape of the back of each house is also drawn in.  Towards the bottom of the image runs Oxford Street; the top half of the street is coloured yellow, the bottom half pink.  I think these lines are parish boundaries (happy to be corrected if they have some other significance).
The source copy for this image is British Library Cartographic Items Maps 33.e.24.

Mrs F is living just north of #CavendishSquare in London. Which jewellers would she go to?

Google #Regency #jewellers & you’ll get Rundell & Bridge, 32 Ludgate Hill (2.5 miles or ¾ hour walk). (History of the company here - bityl.co/Fojr) R&B were the #Royal jewellers, so she’d certainly get a good price there.

BUT below are 3 excellent reasons why she wouldn’t go there.
