"What do they say about Veilgarden? A haunt of poets, prostitutes and other low types, and location of the notorious Singing Mandrake. Elderwick is famous for its booksellers. Hollow Street offers the best honey-dens in the city."

Veilgarden is a district in central London best known for its bohemian leanings.

Wine, Song, and Pleasure

One can find many scandalous delights in Veilgarden, from illicit affairs to honey-dens to pawns in the Great Game. Given the typical bohemian penchant for artistic pursuits, this is also the district for aspiring writers.

Although Spite is much more infamous for its pickpockets, one would be well-advised to keep their purse close about their person – especially while admiring the street performers that dot the district.

Despite Fallen London being, well, fallen, the capital of Britain still has some sway over its Empire. In order to easily facilitate relations, several colonies of the commonwealth came together and set up the magnificent Garden Embassy in Veilgarden. The Embassy is lavishly decorated with Surface flowers that attract plenty of local wildlife.[2]
