As befitting a district in the hinterlands of the city, Watchmaker's Hill is one of the more dangerous places in London, though it makes a great place for a rowdy newcomer to toughen up. 
On the south of the hill is '''Bugsby's Marshes'''. The marshes are a popular spot for hunting beasts like fungus columns and marsh-wolves.
