The review determined that revision of 1:2500 mapping should proceed apace. [37] The most detailed mapping of London was the OS's 1:1056 survey between 1862 and 1872, which took 326 sheets to cover the capital; [38] a second edition (which needed 759 sheets because of urban expansion) was completed and brought out between 1891 and 1895.
