Watchmaker's Hill

From The Fifth City Wiki

"What can you find at Watchmaker's Hill? A sinister fungal wilderness by the river. The Department of Menace  Eradication subcontracts the adventurous to deal with the things that slither out of Bugsby's Marshes. An observatory atop the hill employs only blind men."

Watchmaker's Hill is a district in southeastern London, on the south side of the Stolen River (Thames) and just beyond Bugsby's Marshes. As befitting a district on the hinterlands of the city, Watchmaker's Hill is one of the more Dangerous places in London.

A popular, and especially dangerous place, even for Watchmaker's hill. The owner trains spiders to fight behind the Tavern.

The Observatory
