The City

| Central London, based around the "Square Mile" that is the old original walled city of London. |
| Bloomsbury • Charing Cross • Covent Garden • The Docks & Wapping • Holborn • The Square Mile • St. Giles |
The West End

| Formerly swathes of farmland, the West End is now home to many grand houses and sections of new city life. |

The Hills
|
| The high ridge north of old London. Formerly agricultural, but the city has grown over and swallowed up the old farms into new metropolitan areas. |
| Former Villages • Islington • Hampstead • Highbury • Highgate • Holloway |
The East End
|
| Poverty and crime are a way of life in the East End. Home to the desperate, as well as those immigrants who rarely find a welcome anywhere else in the city. |
| Limehouse & the Isle of Dogs • Mile End & Stepney • Whitechapel |
The Southwark
|
| The southern bank of the Thames, originally where the rich escaped the city. Now it is home to rookeries and poverty, and those industries not tolerated in finer parts of the city. |
