In which city is most of Assassin's Creed Syndicate set?

Most of Assassin's Creed Syndicate is set in London.

The game takes place in London during the Industrial Revolution, primarily in 1868. Twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye arrive in the city and work to remove Templar control while supporting workers and local criminal allies.

The open-world map represents districts including Westminster, the City of London, Southwark, Lambeth, and Whitechapel. Players encounter historical figures such as Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and Alexander Graham Bell.

Syndicate is sometimes confused with Unity because both games take place in major European capitals and feature dense urban exploration. Unity is set in revolutionary Paris, whereas Syndicate presents Victorian London, industrial expansion, railways, and organized street gangs. The game was released in 2015.
