Default Public transport in London in 1829

Just wondering:
If someone were to produce a historical London bus map in the style of Mike
Harris' excellent series of maps (www.busmap.co.uk) for 1829 when George
Shillibeer's first omnibus route started, what other public transport would
need to appear on the map? And how complete could that information ever hope to
be?
I was thinking there'd be a couple of railways, but it seems probably not. I
presume there would have been some ferries across or along the Thames, and
stagecoach routes. Were there ever any passenger services along the canals? Or
any local road transport of any kind?
TIA
