==Where Poverty and Profit Collide==
One of Fallen London's poorest districts, the streets are ruled by the gangs of [[urchins]] who live in [[the Flit]] above. Most citizens know better than to get too close, unless they wish to wake up in a gutter without an echo – or anything else of value – to their name. Those looking to be initiated in the shadowy ways of stealth and legerdemain could learn much from spending time here.

Rumor has it that [[The Cheesemonger|a major player]] in the [[The Great Game|Great Game]] works out of somewhere in Spite. Only fools listen to every rumor, but there may be some truth to this one....

==Notable Locations==

Doubt Street is most likely based on '''Fleet Street''', still a major hub of London's news media even today.
