'''London''' is a city in southern England, and the current capital of the [[United Kingdom]].

==History==
===Renaissance===
[[File:PL Pretenders.jpg|thumb|250px|left]]
In 1503, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Italian Assassins]], sent a group of his [[apprentices]] to London to aid [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]]. They subsequently killed Simnel and Warbeck's co-conspirator [[Margaret of York]] in the November of 1503. After her death, the apprentices killed several Templars instigating riots over Margaret's death. One such Templars revealed that their Order had infiltrated Henry's Star Chamber, to which the apprentices quickly searched for the infiltrators; they found a group of Englishmen signing [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] documents and eliminated them. As a reward, King Henry offered the Assassins a seat in the Star Chamber.<ref name="ACBH - Contracts"/><ref name="ACPL - Contracts"/>

During the time of the mid-[[Renaissance]], London was ruled by King Henry VII of England. During the early 16th century, the [[Templars]] made attempts to obtain the English throne. However, their plans were thwarted by Henry VII, as he imprisoned [[Lambert Simnel]] and had [[Perkin Warbeck]] hanged.<ref name="ACBH - Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – ''Contracts''</ref><ref name="ACPL - Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – ''[[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]''</ref>

===Restoration era===
[[File:King's Return.png|thumb|250px|Charles II's crowning in London]]
In 1660, [[Charles II of England|Charles Stuart]] was invited to London to be crowned King after having been exiled by [[Oliver Cromwell]] for several years. At his crowning, Stuart noticed a man holding a [[Apples of Eden|sphere]] wrapped in a thick piece of cloth talking with his General, [[George Monck]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – ''[[Holidays: Chapter 1 - Ghosts of Christmas Past]]''</ref>

===18th century===
The Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] lived at {{Wiki|Queen Square, London|Queen Anne's Square}} in Bloomsbury with his wife [[Tessa Kenway|Tessa]], son [[Haytham Kenway|Haytham]] and daughter [[Jennifer Scott|Jenny]]. On 3 December, 1735, men hired by the Templar – and family friend – [[Reginald Birch]] attacked their home, murdering Edward and kidnapping Jenny. Birch then took in Haytham, training him to become a Templar.<ref name="Forsaken">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forsaken]]''</ref>

In 1754, Haytham attended a performance of ''{{Wiki|The Beggar's Opera}}'' at the [[Theatre Royal]] to find and kill the Assassin [[Miko]]. He recovered an [[Grand Temple Key|artifact]] for Birch, who believed it was a key to a [[First Civilization|Precursor]] [[Grand Temple|site]] in [[North America]]: Haytham set sail for [[Boston]] on the ''[[Providence]]''. Meanwhile, Miko's murder became public news and left many civilians wondering whether to should leave the city or not.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

Four years later, Jenny returned to Queen Anne's Square after Haytham found her and rescued her from a palace in [[Damascus]].<ref name="Forsaken"/>

Years later during the [[American Revolution]] the traitor general [[Benedict Arnold]] after his failed attempt to hand [[West Point]] over to the [[Redcoats]] fled to London where he remained until his death here in 1801 and was also buried within the city.
