====== London ======

Allegedly the capital of the UK and England. Also known as 'London, England' to those who don't know any better.

London has a population of around 12-15 million, depending on where you draw the borders, and is home to numerous AH.commers, including [[Wozza]], [[Ljofa]], [[Ramp-Rat]], (Wales-born) [[Kit]], [[British Republic]] and LSE-undergraduate [[Lord Roem]]. It is stereotyped as being populated entirely by a combination of American tourists and illegal immigrants, this having displaced the older Dick Van Dyke cheery-cheeky-cockney image (except in America, where the image of London is still by and large a hodge-podge of My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, and Oliver Twist). The only exception is the taxi drivers, who are all members of the BNP. 

[[Thande]] is known for pursuing a vendetta against London, claiming that the UK government and the BBC are obsessed with it and couldn't care less about the 80% of the population who live outside. Other people are known for ignoring him. 

Chief among those, possibly, is [[Wanderlust]], who is still naively of the opinion that any place big enough to cater for her obscure music tastes between it's darkened alleys is worth it's weight in gold.

[[TheDarkServant]] straddles the boundary between [[Kent]] and [[London]], and depending how his feeling can claim he comes from either one.

London is of course a common setting for AHs, such as Harry Turtledove's "Ruled Britannia". It is also just about the only British location ever to feature in the [[AH.com Series]], and has played host to a number of [[AH.com meetups]]. 

Since May 2008, London has come under the benevolent rule of Mayor Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, great-grandson of the last minister of the [[alternate history:Ottoman Empire]]. Boris and his buses are sure to lead London on a shining path of hope back into the 17th century in time for the Olympics in 2012.
