The plan is flanked by the arms of the City of London to the left, and the the Royal Standard to the right. Below the plan is the title and dedication to Nicolao Cornaro, a leading member of the Venetian aristocracy. The title is surmounted by a coat-of-arms. Whose arms they are is uncertain, however, they are probably those of Cornaro. The only name to appear on the plan is that of the River Thames.

The plan was published in Coronelli's rare 'Citta, fortezze, isole, e porti principali dell'Europa in pianta...' in Venice 1689.
