A view of London, taken near the 5 mile stone Brixton Causeway
A view of London, taken near the 5 mile stone Brixton Causeway, circa 1750. Brixton Causeway was a part of the road from Streatham to London carried over a causeway to avoid the swamps and overflow of the Effra at the foot of the hill. A four-horse coach pulls up the hill in wooded scenery, while the portrayal of London in the background includes Westminster Abbey, St Paul's, the Monument and the Tower - and two windmills.
