London is portrayed as an endless maze of adventures. With a district for every class and type of person, there are entire communities which never meet one another within London city limits. For Galahad and Moses, the challenge of living here is the geographical layout of the city. The streets were built centuries ago, and the city grew up around them. This means navigating, especially for newcomers, is challenging. On his way to his first day of work, Galahad is lost, but thankfully Moses anticipates this and points him in the right direction. Add to this tucked away bars and brothels and establishments for every imaginable type of gathering, and London is a veritable wonderland of mystery, certain to hold the imagination captive for some time.
