Albion is the second location in Destroy All Humans! 2 and it is based on London, the capital city of England. It is the first location outside of the USA Crypto visits.
Areas
Parliament - The administrative section of Albion, north of the Thames and west of Hyde Park. There are many telephone boxes here (used in Odd Jobs frequently) and MI6 Agents patrol the streets.
Hyde Park - A park in between Parliament and Canal Side, north of the Thames. The local Hippies gather here in small groups and two Arkvoodle Cults have communes there. Hyde Park has been the victim to several Blisk spore outbreaks.
Canal Side - A section of Albion east of Hyde Park and north of the Thames, riddled with canals crossing it. Canal Side has many choke points, as the only way to cross the canals are by Jetpack or Bridge.
Soviet Embassy - An embassy for the United Soviet Socialist Republics. The Soviet Embassy is patrolled by KGB Agents, and can be split into five areas: the Power Generators, Eastern Buildings, Main Building, and Western Buildings. The Embassy has been attacked by MI6 and Furons numerous times, including: an assault to capture MI6 agent Algernon, a burglary in the Embassy's Cryptography, which resulted in destruction of the Eastern Buildings, the assassination of KGB Agent Luka, and an assassination of a MI6 traitor that resulted in destruction of the Main Building.
Thames River - A river splitting Albion in half.
Tower Bridge - A bridge connecting Canal Side to Soho. Tower Bridge has two arched towers connected by beams, and is guarded by four British soldiers: two at North Tower and two at South Tower.
Trafalgar Bridge - A bridge connecting Parliament and Trafalgar. Unlike Tower Bridge there are no buildings on it and the only guards are patrolling policemen.
Soho - A neighborhood south of the Thames, to the east of Trafalgar. Soho is the home to the local Pirate DJ, and many Hippies and Mobsters. An Arkvoodle Cult has a commune there.
Trafalgar - A neighborhood south of the Thames, to the west of Soho. Trafalgar is the home to many Urbans, and also houses Nelson's Column, possibly the reason why it is called Trafalgar (a tribute to Lord Nelson, hero of the Battle of Trafalgar).
Abandoned Tunnel Network - An abandoned tunnel network underneath Hyde Park used by the KGB as a base. After Cryptosporidium-138 invaded the base and cleared it out, the MI6 commandeered it and used it as a base themselves. Once again, Crypto defeated the owning faction. The entrance is east of Hyde Park, along the northern half of the border.
Battles
Albion has suffered a small-scale Blisk Spore Outbreak caused by Spore canisters hidden in statues, which infected people at a Russian gallery opening and two other openings in Hyde Park. Estimated victims are around 20, and unknown casualties were inflicted. The infected were killed by Cryptosporidium-136.
Albion has also suffered a large-scale Blisk Spore Outbreak, cause by over a dozen canisters of fast-infecting Spores hidden all over Hyde Park, Canal Side, and Soho by Agent Luka. These attacks infected closer to 50 civilians and KGB, and cause many more casualties. Had Cryptosporidium not put down this attack also, Albion could have suffered many casualties from a major firefight with the Blisk Mutants.
The MI6 has fought the Furons in Hyde Park, where Reginald Ponsoby-Smythe surrounded Cryptosporidium-136. Casualties depend upon the player, but Ponsoby was assassinated and Crypto escaped.
The Abandoned Tunnel Network has been the site of two battles: a small assault on the KGB base hidden there by Cryptosporidium, and Cryptosporidium escaped a MI6 facility there.
During MI6's attempts to capture Agent Algernon MI6 Agents and KGB Agents fought in the streets. One main team of around eight MI6 led an assault on the canal north of the Soviet Embassy, but they stopped after reaching the area Algernon was at.
