I've been there a few times, but I can't say I live in the area :)

Well, it _is_ called the _London_ Sourcebook, so... :) The book is mainly
about London, from pages 52 through 116 (out of 152); the first part of
the book is about Britain's history, the last part about the rest of the
UK. However, I'm not sure how much of it would be recognizable to someone
used to the London of today. For example, there has been a whole
"underplex" built under the West End, up to four levels deep in many
places, while the above-ground area in the same part of town has been
allowed to almost become the equivalent of the Redmond Barrens in Seattle.
Describing the whole city would take up a lot of bandwidth and time,
though, so I think your best option is to track down the London
Sourcebook.
