* A little east in the city is the Hackney Marshes in the Borough of Hackney, a large open space with thick forestry and the River Lea flowing across the lands. Some people have camped there and even the stadium hosting the London 2012 UsefulNotes/OlympicGames was built in parts of the land, so it is a popular place for residents and tourists to attend. That said, there is a level of infamy surrounding the Hackney Marshes, namely that there is a peculiar "beast" lurking within the woods, terrifying those that stumble across it. The "beast" was rumoured to be a large sabre-toothed cat, akin to a ''Smilodon'', but was eventually revealed to be a Newfoundland dog, but since London became a Pantheonic Dominion, rumours sparked once again about a giant beast ending up there. Some assumed it was a [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Jotunheim Beast that became a stowaway after the battle between Thor and Malekith]], but that was captured within two days and taken back to its home realm. It turned out that a [[Pantheon/{{Canines}} Zinogre]] somehow wandered into the Hackney Marshes with some luck on keeping itself hidden and attempted to reside there as an apex predator, which has the unfortunate consequence of damaging the ecosystem of the marsh. A team of officers were called in to capture the Hell Wolf Wyvern, which proved to be much harder than expected, and that's when the [[Pantheon/{{Hunters}} Monster Hunters]] showed up to save the day, incapacitating and sending the Zinogre off to a more suitable environment where it won't pose too much of a threat to its fauna. Since then, the tale of the Hackney Marshes Zinogre has remained a popular story in London.

* Comparable locations: [[Pantheon/AdministrativeCenters SCP-1678]], [[Pantheon/DimensionsAndMultiverses The Metaverse]]
* Long ago, centuries or maybe even millennia (no-one's quite sure at this point), [[RobotWar there was a war between man and machine]]. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters What was originally meant to be a fight for the machine's freedom would escalate into misanthropy]]. As a last, desperate attempt to stop the machines man would turn the sky dark to starve them of solar power. This would usher in [[AfterTheEnd the wasteland of the real]], a post-apocalypse. And it was AllForNothing; the machines found a new power source [[HumanResources in their enemies]]. Humanity would be round up and captured, put in an illusionary virtual world called the Matrix. The first Matrix was a paradise...but no-one accepted it, perhaps because humans are defined by imperfection and suffering. So the next Matrix was a nightmare world...and no-one accepted that either. The current Matrix was modeled after the late 20th to early 21st century. Almost all were "blue-pills", unaware of their simulated reality. But some would become aware, and fight their way to be free. These redpills believe that humanity must have the choice to live in the Matrix or not, and that's not something the Machines liked.
* The Matrix was not so much moved to the Trope Pantheon, but given access by having a city of different terminals via advanced supercomputers. The Machine Collective has specifically designed the entrance point so they can put whoever wishes to visit it under strict supervision; anyone who's not human must take a human avatar, they will be removed immediately and banned if they reveal the truth to any blue-pills, and anyone who tries to hack the system or hijack their operation will be dealt with lethally. Why allow anyone at all? For one, they wish to play some {{Realpolitik}} with some deities where being aggressive or hostile would be inconvenient. Also, they wish to understand the massive variables and [[OutsideContextProblem outside context problems]] of the Trope Pantheon, which studying their activity in the Matrix can help with. Utilizing Pantheon technology they are able to avoid invasive surgery to interface, but the rule that "damage in the Matrix correlates to damage in the real world" is still applicable. Despite these rules and security measures it was still a divisive choice among the different machines, with many arguing they "caved into Pantheon pressure".
* The Matrix's connections to the Trope Pantheon's official Cyberspace are limited and severely restricted as per the Machine Collective's requests...well, demands mostly, but some of it was legitimate requests. This is done both for nefarious reasons (namely preventing deities like John Connor from inspiring rebellion, and keeping the masquerade for blue-pills), and for reasons of genuine security (preventing [[EvilerThanThou worse parties from subverting the Matrix]], cyber-terrorists [[PragmaticVillainy from threatening the blue-pills]]. The Hall of Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches is on a watchlist from those in charge of the Matrix as they are well-aware of [[AGlitchInTheMatrix glitches]] such as DejaVu. Currently Matrix glitches can be easily written off by the bluepills as urban legends or the rumors of an UnreliableNarrator, so the concern over said Hall is more of a concern that the influence might break the suspension of disbelief convincing bluepills they are living in real life. That said there's some morbid curiosity over what'd happen if beings like Missingno found themselves in the Matrix, [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall if its Reviewaverse shenanigans are any indication]] ]].
* Heavily associated with the Hall of Pantheon/DigitalPersonas for what should be self-explanatory reasons. The Machine Collective heavily monitors that Hall as it's the go-place for hackers and rebels to break into the Matrix without their permission or notice, and so they can observe other virtual realities. There's a special interest in the various deities from the ''Pantheon/{{Digimon}}'' multiverse also for obvious reasons, one of them being concern as the Digimon can have a significantly more physical presence on "the real world"; an advantage[[note]]and disadvantage depending on your point of view[[/note]] the Matrix lacks. [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas The Master Control Program]] and [[Pantheon/{{Psyches}} Clu]] are deeply intrigued by the Matrix's presence and have been in communication with the Machine Collective for, what's to them, {{Realpolitik}}. They won't give this sort of leeway to SCP-633 or SCP-079 though, for somewhat justified reasons. The latter finds it being ignored somewhat hypocritical considering this whole experiment started from rebelling against human oppression
* The Matrix is one of the most well-known examples of a virtual reality-based MentalPrison, though [[AfterTheEnd it's not like the real world is that well-off]]. Most good-aligned or more liberal-leaning gods make it clear that their issues with the Matrix is not so much that it puts people in a virtual reality but that it prevents people from choosing whether they want to live in the simulation. Following Neo's sacrifice they've become slightly more lenient, but this is primarily when dealing with real world factions like Zion. There have been a number of comparisons between the Matrix and [=UnLondon=] since they are isolated and authoritarian-based asylums from "the wasteland of the real" (well, the potential wasteland for SCP-1678). [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation The Foundation]] hasn't bothered the Machines as the Matrix isn't anomalous, but they recognize the similarities. Because of this the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw is intrigued by the Matrix and many [[TotalitarianUtilitarian "benevolent despots"]] that are a part of the GUAL respect the Matrix as a means of maintaining a form of control. The Matrix Collective doesn't agree with some of the GUAL's methods despite understand the sentiment, however, as they know from past experiences making it seem like the normal world instead of some sort of shining city is more effective in maintaining control.
* A micro-portion of the Matrix (equivalent to a city the size of Osaka, Japan) has been developed specifically for visiting residents of the Trope Pantheon who would prefer to play god-mode/live in luxury, [[BreadAndCircuses as an amusing distraction for deities who might otherwise be problematic or who heavily protest against the restrictions]]. It's based off the original Paradise Matrix, a pet project of sorts to re-evaluate the old model and see just why things went wrong. Another micro-portion of the Matrix is modeled after the Nightmare model of the Matrix, [[NightmareFetishist but that's only for people who are into that]]. The Architect has been honest on why he organized these sub-Matrixes; he wants to understand and quantify the human condition. While the Paradise sub-Matrix they developed is meant to be a distraction, [[EvenEvilHasStandards they have decided some abusive deities shouldn't be allowed as it would take away from the point of that sub-section, and/or see them as personally unpleasant]].
* Nobuyuki Sugou was declared a PersonaNonGrata from any version of the Matrix as they believe he will try to "taint" it for his hedonistic and sadistic desires. [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Akihiko Kayaba]], however, was principled enough to avoid the banhammer; he's more genuinely interested in the Matrix, musing similarities with the virtual reality-game he created (though with much different motivations in mind). The Machine Collective considers him talented, mentioning they have been observing the deities of Pantheon/SwordArtOnline and wonder if they could make some sort of arrangement to improve the Matrix. One of the conclusions they made was to not allow Kirito and Asuna to enter the Matrix, which was done for almost the exact opposite reasons of banning Nobuyuki Sugou; [[VillainRespect they recognize their heroic endeavors when they were trapped inside the VR SOA game of the series' namesake]] and believe that they would be motivated to blow the lid off the whole masquerade they use to control people. Kevin Flynn isn't permitted inside the Matrix for much of the same reason. And by the way, the Architect is aware that his virtual reality was one he made, being TheMaker. Given the purpose of the Matrix, [[NotSoStoic he admitted he did find it the tiniest bit funny]].
* [[Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers Suzu Naito]] performed as a singer named Belle in the digital world of U. She's welcome to perform as a singer in the Matrix, but given the ultimately oppressive purpose of the Matrix it's not something she wants to do. Visiting there is something that [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes B.B and her Moon Cell compatriots]] would like to do, however. [[VideoGame/FateExtra In their timeline]], a dying earth forced a lot of humans to try to find refuge within SERAPH, the virtual world inside of the Moon Cell. In short, it's a more benevolent take on the Matrix. As such, the Machine Collective fears that the similarities might attract interests from Servants and magical users, [[OutsideContextProblem and they don't know how they'll adapt to magic]].
* The official justification as for why humans are put in the Matrix [[HumanResources is to serve as a power source for the machines]]. Many, especially those who work at the Hall of Pantheon/{{Electricity}}, consider this absurd since it'd take more energy to keep people alive. In fairness, ''originally'' [[WetwareCPU the blue-pills were meant to be some sort of neural network]] [[ExecutiveMeddling but the executives feared this was too complicated for the movie audience]]. It should also be made clear that at this point, maintaining control and a preferable status quo for the machines is just as important. Because of this, and some other traits like "if you die in the game you die for real" or Neo [[{{Technopath}} manipulating machines in the real world]] has lead to a popular theory [[RecursiveReality that the "real world" is actually another, higher layer of the Matrix]]. Many in the House of Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} discuss what is and isn't real, though some like [[Pantheon/ParadoxesAndTimeLoops Fry]] [[Recap/FuturamaS8E10AllTheWayDown argue it doesn't really matter and what you think is real is up to your choice]]. Again, the consensus from critiques of the Machines was never about living in a simulated reality was in itself bad.
* Before you ask they are aware [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} of the Near-Death Star]] and it's obvious inspirations from the Matrix. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny They think it's a decent enough parody]] and have no intention of "making a lawsuit for plagiarism" like Professor Farnsworth thinks. Also yes, they are very aware that they're not the first simulated reality with the name "the Matrix"; [[Series/DoctorWho just look at Gallifrey]]. Though rather than serve as a simulated life, the Gallifreyan Matrix acts as [[ArtificialAfterlife an afterlife]] for downloaded Time Lords. The Machine's Matrix is more well-known but nowhere near as advanced, and even if they wanted to give the blue-pills some sort of afterlife they have no way how to get the human mind to exist without its physical body yet. Also the Matrix currently can't have a Time Lord into it by virtue of the technology not being there for their advanced consciousness, at least without causing some serious brain damage.
* The Master is trying to rectify the inability to manifest inside the Matrix because having pulled an Agent Smith on humanity for a time in the real world, and how she used a slice of the Gallifreyan Matrix to abduct the minds of dead humans. To the Machines, Agents, red-pills and basically any resident of the Matrix aware that it's virtual reality ''this is terrifying'' and worthy of an EnemyMine to stop him. For that matter, any malignant ComputerVirus or some A.I that wants to spread itself across the Matrix is seen as a worst-case scenario for everyone in the know. SKYNET, Ultron, Sigma and their ilk aren't even private about their desire to turn the Matrix and everyone and everything plugged into it an extension of themselves [[DeusEstMachina as part of a path to mechanical godhood]], with Ultron plugging into the Matrix being '''the absolute worst-case scenario''' since, [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle as Wiz and Boomstick put it]], he out-Sigma'd an entire race of Sigma.
* Even some humans are considered way too dangerous; God forbid Eggman/Dr Robotnik (mainly his nastier incarnations) find and subvert it. His ''Sonic the Comic'' self even made a supercomputer powered by people, [[FateWorseThanDeath though without the virtual reality]]; fortunately it was shut down before he could use it. In a rare bit of humility he admits the Matrix is a more sophisticated take on the concept with his nicer incarnations wondering if [[LotusEaterMachine not knowing you're part of the machine]] [[PragmaticVillainy would be more effective in maintaining control]]. [[AffablyEvil He also gave friendly advice to prep against any electromagnetic pulse, since he knows from experience that can be a real problem]]. He still wants to take control of it and likes to boast he came up with the idea before (despite the concept predating him by a mile); he's still Eggman at the end of the day. He also pointed out the EMP was the side effect of [[AdaptationalVillainy the Fleetway Super Sonic's escape]], so they should consider keeping [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic away]] in case his regular transformations could do the same.
* Shortfuse holds special umbridge for the Matrix due to the way Badniks work; trapping beings in mechanical shells for a power source. The reasons and methods are different, but the similarities are still there. Knuckles' Fleetway incarnation holds the same level of hatred as Robotnik attempted to use him as part of a supercomputer before the aforementioned EMP. Even outside of those two, the similarities to Eggman/Robotnik trapping animals in robots and the machines putting humans in those pods put heroic Sonic deities on edge. It's worth noting that the ''Sonic the Comic'' Robotnik only ever refrained from using humans as Badniks because there weren't any other than him on Mobius. He did still use the simulation aspect of the Matrix a couple times, once to make Sonic think he was human and another [[HappinessInSlavery where they were happy to be abused and subjugated]], and that incarnation of the good doctor is one of the most interesting in subverting the design of the Matrix for his own. He's collaborating with his "Warlord Julian" counterpart to make a Matrix-esque trap of sorts for mass roboticization. Asides from being concerned over him, the Machine Collective learned a valuable bit of information from his efforts; Sonic had the HeroicWillpower to break out of both simulations, so even if he was human enough to be plugged doing so might as well be giving Neo an equal, but with an attitude.

* Past Monarchs: [[Pantheon/RoyaltyOther Queen Elizabeth I]], [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} King Henry VIII]], [[Pantheon/InfluentialFigures King Richard I]]

* SCP-1678-A, aka the Bobbies, look like Victorian policeman bandaged up. They're extremely resilient to damage and bullets, and hostile for motives not fully understood. The House of Pantheon/{{Justice}} is investigating how they came to be in hopes of creating loyal Bobbies to service the Trope Pantheon's interest. However the Bobbies will shoot anyone who attempts to analyze them. The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood has the theory [[ObliviouslyEvil they assume the world has ended, so they believe any outsider is compromised]].

* A massive stem in the field of entertainment, London maintains a rich and thriving scene when it comes to music, theatre, and art. The House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle has a subsidiary based there and numerous theatre artists, both native to the city and ascended deities in the Pantheon are eager to get a shot playing in venues like the Royal Opera House, Royal National Theatre, the Palace Theatre, and the Apollo Theatre, just to name a few. William Shakespeare himself was surprised and impressed by how much his plays tend to be shown in performance and was even overwhelmed by the number of people who tried to approach him for an interview or conversation as well as offers to conduct one of his works in person, though such plans have yet to occur for now. London is also home to many famous artists and is the starting spot for RockMusic, PunkRock and HeavyMetal, all three of them having been developed, grown, and spread their influence from there and beyond. Even so, there's a large Pop and Rap scene there too, so it's safe to say that all genres of music are widely played there. There is some contention for Japanese {{Idol Singer}}s as they are left out and don't generate too much attraction, though notable groups like μ's, [[Pantheon/{{Weather}} Aqours]], and [[Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers 765 Pro]] plan on at least making enough of an impact on London to generate interest there for the brand of music they love to create.

* In addition to film and television, the city also has a big music scene, with some of the most promising contracts and up-to-date gear available there and it's not so surprising that music producers and artists flock to LA to set up business there. For one, ''Universal Music Group'', one of the "Big Three" of music companies is based in Santa Monica. Most genres of music, ranging from jazz, pop, rock, heavy metal, and rap have seen strong growth and influence from artists who got their start in LA. Adding to its dominion status in the Pantheon, the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}} has seen a lot of deities wanting to travel to LA and perform in one of their many venues and stadiums, such as the Hollywood Bowl, the Hollywood Palladium, the Greek Theatre, the El Rey Theatre, and many more. Tom Cat, a surprisingly skilled pianist, expresses a desire to play in the Hollywood Bowl another time, though he may or may not want Jerry Mouse to ruin it for him at this moment. Some of the city's most prestigious theatres have sent invitations to some of history's most famed pianists like Wolfgang Mozart and [[Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers Ludwig van Beethoven]] to attend and showcase a concert. Although idols aren't a bustling scene in the city yet, notable artists like Honoka Kosaka of μ's and Haruka Amami of [[Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers 765 Pro]] seek to schedule LA as one of their performing spots in an upcoming tour for their music, hoping that they can spread their popularity there as well as bring more attention to the J-Pop scene there.

* SCP-1678-D is what the primary food supply is referred to. It's a synthetic starch gel with the consistency and taste of porridge, though low levels of fat and protein have the risk of making one dangerously underweight and prone to scurvy in the long-term. Psychological side-effects are increased obedient to authority, diminishing propensity for violence, reduced libido, capacity for fear or panic, and consistently high morale. This has only led to questions on [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans why]] [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill these effects]] [[HumansAreBastards are in place]] and if it has anything to do with the apocalypse they're preparing for. YHVH is pleased with SCP-1678-D and wants take [=UnLondon=] for the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw, believing its attitude is perfect for His kind of doomsday preppers. Hopefully [[GodIsEvil He]] isn't planning to ''cause'' some apocalypse in order to utilize [=UnLondon=].

* London is one of the most popular cities in the Pantheon, thanks to its generally welcoming nature regarding the arts and technology as well as its symbolic/historic status attracting a massive swath of tourists. Its Victorian counterpart, on the other hand, not so much due to its generally glum and dreary atmosphere, not helped by the fact that there's a notable scale of criminal activity occurring there. If anything, there's more of a relationship with the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions than with any other place for Victorian London, though that's not to say there's a big group of decent people and heroes in that timezone. It doesn't help that UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper tends to reside there and nearly everybody is etching to try to find and uncover his identity, it failing results[[note]]further not helped by the fact that the Ripper has had several identities throughout the ages[[/note]]. There are some efforts taken by gangsters to establish a trading/business scene in Victorian London, with some like [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances The Penguin]] enjoying some success while others like [[Pantheon/EvilActions Kingpin]] and [[Pantheon/{{Calmness}} Gus Fring]] are more comfortable operating under modern times, feeling that working in a static historic timeline would dent their efficiency and their resources, despite the large criminal scene Victorian London exudes.

* During the night, there have been rumours of vampire activity surfacing in Highgate Cemetary. This caused panic among the populace, especially those that lived close to the graveyard, but fortunately, a group of vampire hunters were able to quell the incident from further escalating into an epidemic that would likely cause London to fall to a rise in a vampire outbreak. Ironically, one of those who stopped the event was [[Pantheon/CrossoversAndReferences Genevieve Dieudonné]], who happened to be a vampire herself, though she had to keep her activity and presence shadowed by her fellow allies so as to not cause controversy among the city's populace, especially as she did kill a vampirized Queen Victoria to prevent Dracula from marrying her and becoming the UK's monarch. Despite the infamous count having multiple incarnations in the Pantheon, only [[Pantheon/NarrativeActions the original one]] is hellbent on desiring to conquer London; [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata the Castlevania version]] would rather destroy the world than rule another land and the [[Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism owner of Hotel Transylvania]] wants to just uphold his hotel and make peace with his [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality daughter]], monster friends and any humans who pass by. Nobody knows who kickstarted the vampire rise in Highgate Cemetary and multiple necromancers and other evil vampires have been pointed out, but this hasn't stopped a group of vampire hunters, investigators, and police officers from keeping a close watch on the place every night.

* Banned entry: The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction, [[Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} Dr Weil]]

* Though looked at with suspicious by the Foundation, all evidence suggests that SCP-1678 exists for the purpose of being an asylum in case of an apocalyptic event ruining the surface. Because of this, the Bobbies and Foundation [[EnemyMine are willing to team up]] to keep the GUAD ''out''. Dr Weil as well, because he tried to destroy the LastFertileRegion to force people under [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans his dictatorship]]. Just ''what'' that apocalyptic event is, it hasn't been discerned.

** As a consequence, security in and around the city is tripled, with numerous checkpoints manned by heavily-armed Waffen-SS soldiers and even TheDreaded Nazi Storm Elites, ready to shoot any unauthorized intruder or suspected Allied agents on sight. These soldiers, now loyal to the aforementioned Schmidt rather than the now long-gone Fuhrer or even [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes Adenoid Hynkel]], are armed with AlternateUniverse 1960s-era weaponry, uniforms, and communications equipment, courtesy of the work of HYDRA Scientist Arnim Zola and the aformentioned Strasse.

'''[[Wiki/SCPFoundation SCP-1678]], Unholy [[UndergroundCity Subterranean City of the Gods]]''' ([=UnLondon=], the Last City)

* Because [=UnLondon=] is underground far away from the Sun, it might serve as a bastion for an SCP scenario [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/shaggydredlocks-proposal where the Sun's light turns life into a zombie-like]] BlobMonster. One mortal [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5vYXIyu90 posits what that scenario may be like]]. It'd certainly be a good place to hide if [[Pantheon/PlanetaryAndCelestial the C'Tan]] start eating and poisoning the Sun, and possibly [[Pantheon/PlanetaryAndCelestial Sekhment]]. Some believe that Russian spies discovered its role as a post-apocalyptic asylum, and used this to eventually built an UndergroundCity out of the Moscow Metro system. The Post-Apocalyptic Metro System has its own dangers within the tunnels between the stations like bandits, hostile mutant wildlife and other supernatural threats so if any communication between the two underground locations exists, it'd be really slow.

** In [[Anime/StrikeWitches another universe]], Berlin is said to be a major [[Pantheon/{{Power}} Neuroi]] hub, having been invaded and taken over by them when they commenced their AlienInvasion. However, the ascended Berlin, interestingly, does not attract their attention, thanks in no part to the new German defenses installed in and around the city.
