Königsberg, E. Prussia (Pepys' Diary)

The overlays that highlight 17th century London features are approximate and derived from:

Built-up London – Hollar's 1666 map before the Fire
City of London wall and Great Fire damage – Hollar's 1666 map after the Fire

Summary

This is now the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, not to be confused with present-day Königsberg in Germany.
