The Wolves of London Circa 1900
London is a centre of the Glass Walkers tribe. They have fought in London against the signs of urban corruption since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The battles costed them highly and several of their strongest Caerns in the city fell. Remaining in 1900 there are 3 Caerns left.

Today, the Glass Walkers are mainly present in the form of Fenestre Holding, a corporation under the control of one of their own, Charles Meadwell, and the sept that bears its name. Meadwall argues against current trends like the European Union and the introduction of the Euro, in contrast to several of the continental Glass Walkers. Recent successes in the battle for London are the purification of the site of the Millenium Dome. Other tribes are rare. The local Bone Gnawers have been nearly exterminated after an ancient vampire awoke in the 1990s and still have found no way to replenish their numbers. The Fianna likewise were hit hard when that creature emerged and most of their numbers have fallen. Rumors exist of a Caern of them hidden within one of the city's parks, but no one is forthcoming. A single agent, Colina Sheehey, remains within London to learn the fate of the Wyrm creature capable of such destruction. The Silver Fangs used to be present in the form of House Austere Howl, but this House was accused to be Wyrm-tainted after it was discovered that they were sacrificing children to an entity referred to as "Red Jack". The House has left London since then.
Part of what is called the Eurohub, London's spiritscape has largely been calcified by the Weaver. One of Pentex major bases in Europe is located in London. London was also once the base of the Order of Oriental Fellowship, which would later emigrate into the New World and be re-founded as the Pretanic Keys. The City Father of London was the first one to be discovered by the Garou Nation. A trickster at heart, he appears as a tall man with an umbrella, plaid waistcoat and a brass pocket watch with roman numerals. Among the Corax, London acts as gathering place, with the Tower of London housing a large quantity of their raven Kinfolk. Their leader, Sparkles, acts as the unofficial head of Corax activity on the British Isles. Ratkin live beneath the city in large tunnels and are known to hunt those down that venture too deep below. A faction of Hengeyokai has a small presence within the local Chinatown
