An etching of London by Wenceslaus Hollar. This is sheet two of the seven which make up the panorama known as the 'Long View'. This section shows London from the vantage of the north bank of Salisbury House to Baynard's Castle, showing Southwark, Bankside west of Winchester House, Covent Garden, Arundel House, Globe and Hope theatres. First state, before the addition of a maypole in Covent Garden.

In his view of London, Hollar has changed the names of two of the London theatres. The circular theatre labelled 'Beere bayting' is in fact the Globe, the theatre owned by the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged, which was re-built on this location after a fire in 1613. The Hope theatre sits on the bank of the river, and is labelled as 'The Globe'.

Hollar's Long View of London was published in two sets, the first in 1647 and the second in 1661, consisting of six plates cut to seven sheets. For the views known as the first set see RCINs 805308-805314, and for the views of the second set see RCIN 805315-805321. This plate dates from 1647, however it is included in the second set, dating from 1661, to complete the view of the city. The second set in the Royal Collection is incomplete, including only the second states of the third and fourth views. The first and seventh view have been replaced with alternate views; the first replaced with a view of London alongside a scene of the judgement of Solomon, and the seventh with a view of London and a reversed copy of the title page for "Navivm Variæ Figuræ et Formæ" (1647). The second, fifth, and sixth views are all first states and date from the original 1647 set.
