The notes for this map point out that The Inner West "includes the largest 'yellow' area in London. Wealth, rank and fashion cluster round Hyde Park and the Green Park. Mayfair and Belgravia are the centres of fashion. West of Portland Place is the great district for doctors: Bayswater is known for its rich Jews. . . . The poor are gradually being ousted by the demolition of their houses and the rebuilding for a different class." (Life and Labor 3:130).
