A nice help for plannng adventures in Victorian London, with a very useful introduction to the daily life at the Empire's core and a nice collction of NPC that may be used for many Ubiquity games (in my case Space: 1889). The main defect is, in my opinion, the lack of an index at the end of the guide to find quickly whatever information is searched (a historical character, a type of building, a specific place, a general concept...). Also, it may be very difficult to find a position in the map just after the assigned number. Nevertheless, it is a useful guide

Softcover book. Full-color cover, black & white interior art. 78 pages. A great sourcebook for the Leagues of Adventure game this covers the City (and County) of London in the 1890s. The bulk of the book is devoted to a "tour" around London pointing out places of interest. There are also sections on the police force, entertainment, and transportation. The book is largely fluff free (ie not much in the way of games stats) so it immediately has utility for a wide variety of games. Even the adventure hooks for London are game-stats free. Most of the game-related material comes in the form of detailing various NPCs and archetypes, but there is enough flavor test to still make them usable in other games too. This is a well-researched guide and extremely useful. If you are playing a London-based Leagues of Adventure, Leagues of Gothic Horror or Leagues of Cthulhu game then I say pick this up.
