London is the city controlled by the Frye twins during Assassin's Creed Syndicate's main story.
Set in 1868, Syndicate follows twins Jacob and Evie Frye as they challenge Templar influence in Victorian London. They build and lead the Rooks, a gang that helps them contest districts controlled by rival gangs and Templar-backed forces. The game presents a large open-world version of London during the Industrial Revolution.
Important locations include Westminster, the City of London, the Thames, Whitechapel, and the Tower of London. The story also features historical figures such as Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, and Alexander Graham Bell. London is not merely a backdrop: its factories, railways, canals, and class divisions shape the missions and themes. Syndicate was released in 2015 and is distinct from Assassin's Creed Unity, which is set in Paris during the French Revolution.
