"Dreadnoughts rumble through the London sky, watchful as sheep-dogs."

"The excited shriek of train-whistles. The hiss of steam. The clamour of countless voices. London."

"You near London, where Her Renewed Majesty reigns from the Throne of Hours."[1]

New London is the capital of the British Empire located in Albion.

The Ultimate Achievement of Victorian Ambition

"Keen-eyed Ministry Auditors patrol the thoroughfares, while urchins and spies sneak between smokey back-alleys and slums. London thrums with activity, like a great engine in perpetual motion."[2]

The city is in fact the original London, disassembled and rebuilt in the High Wilderness.[3] The parliament used to be part of the city until Her Renewed Majesty decide to separate it from the empire, both metaphorically and physically.[4]

Notable Locations

  • The Throne of Hours, once the seat of the King of Hours, now belongs to Empress Victoria.[5]
  • St Dominic's Station, London's chief train station.[6]
  • Steam & Sapphire Yards, where business regarding locomotives can be arranged.[7] Most certainly not a front for an underground railroad for Workworld escapees.[8][9]
  • Wit & Vinegar Lumber Company, head office of a lumber company operating in the Reach. Most certainly not a front for a smuggling operation.[10]
  • Crown & Misery Co. Yards, formerly Iron & Misery.[11]
  • The Silken Salon, an establishment owned by the Generous Princess.[12]
  • The House of Jude, a New Sequence church that also functions as a hospital for the victims of a certain fire.[13][14]
  • Spitalfields Market now.[15] Now with 75% less pickpocketing urchins, and a new modern make over as this is the new trading hub.
  • Hallidge's Bank Central Office[16]
  • What used to be the Brass Embassy is now a smoldering ruin occupied only by a Baroness of Hell and her children(?).[17]
