A LIST

OF ALL THE

INNS THROUGHOUT THE METROPOLIS

FROM WHICH THE

MAIL AND OTHER STAGE COACHES DEPART

Showing the Route they take by Reference to the ITINERARY; the Time of their Departure from London, and Arrival at their respective Inns in the Country; likewise the Time of their Departure thence, and Arrival in Town.


***The following List has been examined by the respective Proprietors, and by them reported correct.—The Publisher, nevertheless, thinks it proper to observe, that notwithstanding the care which he has taken to avoid every species of error, it will sometimes happen, from a change of Route, &c. that an inaccuracy may occur; he therefore suggests the propriety of such inquiry at the Inn as may be thought necessary, in order to secure the Traveller from mistake.
