Andy, you can find the map on Commons at [1].
It's been a few years since I had a personal, and positive, chat with
the British Library copyright/legal management. I would be happy to
drop in again for a meeting to chat about how better to handle this
project, or others, if they spot me lunch.
If there are any other /obviously/ PD images of immediate interest to
Wikimedians, consider dropping me a private email.

I witnessed a fascinating presentation, this morning,
on a project
which has digitised the first map of London at building level, and
overlays it with data from other sources:

The data sets are freely available, but the British Library claims
copyright over the map images - I'm sure some of you will have your
own views about this.
I shall notify the project's creator, Dr Matthew Sangster, about this
post. He would be a good speaker for a future GLAM conference.
