so the map doesn't appear to contain any royal residences, which were perhaps all in Westminster not London at the time? So Henry VIII and QE1 etc didn't live within the walls of London?

The Tower of London is technically a palace, but yeah, Royals generally didn't live inside the square mile. The Palace of Whitehall in Westminster would have been the main London area residence at the time of these maps.

Note that the Tower of London is actually outside the walls of the city of London, so even it doesn't qualify as living inside the city of London.
