Swiss Cottage, sta. on Metropolitan Ry., Middlesex, in NW. of London, 1¾ m. NW. of Baker Street Station.
The location is that of Swiss Cottage Underground station. The name "South Hampstead" appears very slightly north of this on the modern 1:25,000 map. Additional information about this locality is available for Hampstead
