Robsons 1832 directory index
This is the earliest street directory I have found so far which also includes pub history detail.
Abingdon street is clearly marked on the 1746 map, as it is still today, in 2018. It runs parallel with the Thames, from the Palace yard in the north down to Great College street, passing Victoria gardens along the way. The Old Palace yard is in front of the House of Lords.
The Chequers tavern was demolished in the 1860s, being where Victoria gardens now exist.
