‘Ello, what is all this then?
Fallout: London is set 160 years after the global nuclear war, 40 years before that Fallout 3and in a part of the world that is remote and didn’t really have any official Fallout lore. That means a lot of the typical Fallout fare – Deathclaws, Super Mutants, the Pip-Boy 3000 – is left out.
Or rather, replaced by dozens of new enemies, lore, companions, factions and even some mechanisms from the modding scene (ladders!). It’s a thrill to see the varieties of wasteland stuff across the pond: canned beans, medieval weapons, the Atta-Boy personal computer. There is at least one dog, a bulldog, and his name is Churchill.
As for the story, stop me if you’ve heard this before: You, newly awakened from an underground chamber (but no vault), enter a devastated London, torn by factions with deep differences over how things should move forward. . You do quests, take sides, befriend or shoot people, and do a lot of peeking into abandoned buildings, hoping to find that last screw you need for a shotgun modification.
A street scene from post-bomb London. Not exactly Piccadilly Circus and red buses (although you’ll see those later!).

London falls
When you first start Fallout: Londonyou will see a London that looks, quite frankly, rubbish. Whatever London did to anger the world’s nuclear powers has made them good and angry, and parts of the city are very bloated. However, the city’s tendency to use underground spaces has done this well, and the glory of yesteryear can often be found in a subway tunnel, a bunker or a basement.
As you progress you get the impression that you are seeing a part of London that you remember, either from a visit or from the media, and what it looks like with a bit of character. The post-war residents also created their own spaces in the ruins, some more refined and welcoming than others. Everywhere you look, you can see that the familiar Fallout aesthetic – the 1950s atomic culture that endured until its demise – shifted to Greenwich Mean Time.
