London Wall
The words "Without" and "Within" indicate whether the ward fell outside or within the London Wall, though only Farringdon and (formerly) Bridge have been split into separate wards in this way (Bridge Without was beyond the gates on London Bridge).
Some wards — Aldersgate, Bishopsgate and Cripplegate — cover an area that was both within and outwith the Wall and, although not split into separate wards, often the part (or division) within the Wall is denoted (on maps, in documents, etc.) as being "Within" and the part outside the Wall as being "Without".
Archaically "Infra" (within) and "Extra" (without) and the terms "intramural" and "extramural" had the same meaning.

Source of amended extract: Wikipedia - History of LondonThe 18th century was a period of rapid growth for London, reflecting an increasing national population, the early stirrings of the Industrial Revolution, and London's role at the centre of the evolvingBritish Empire.
Tradesmen from around the world came to London to trade and many immigrants moved to London and Britain's victory in the Seven Years War increased the country's international standing, opened new markets and boosted trade and prosperity.
The population increased greatly pushing the boundries into new districts such as Mayfair, built for the wealthy in the West End. London Bridge was the only bridge that spanned the Thames, but In 1750 Westminster Bridge was opened and enabled links which lead to developed in South London, East End, Port of London and districts downstream from the City.
In 1762 George III acquired Buckingham Palace (then known as "house") from the Duke of Buckingham. It was enlarged over the next 75 years by architects such as Peel.
A phenomenon of 18th century London was the coffee house, which became a popular place to debate ideas. Growing literacy and the development of the printing press meant that news became widely available. Fleet Street became the centre of the embryonic British press during the century.
18th century London was dogged by crime, the Bow Street Runners were established in 1750 as a professional police force. Penalties for crime were harsh, with the death penalty being applied for fairly minor crimes. Public hangings were common in London, and were popular public events.
In 1780 London was rocked by the Gordon Riots, an uprising by Protestants against Roman Catholic emancipation led by Lord George Gordon. Severe damage was caused to Catholic churches and homes, and 285 rioters were killed.
In 1780 the American war of Independence raged and transporting prisoners ceased to America and were sent instead to New South Wales. The 18th century saw the breakaway of the American colonies and great change and Enlightenment.
