This ultimately falls upon you to create what you want. I don't think there is a single person on Simtropolis that would do this kind of thing. If you practice, and get the hang of sc4 and some custom content, i am confident that you will be able to build London how you would want it in Sc4.

Try illtonsko's buildings. They are suited for England even london.

You'll find plenty of UK styled buildings on the Stex... just use keywords like UK, Britian, England etc, you'll find a tonne of stuff that'll make your eyes pop out of your skull.

I haven't played SC4 for a while, but I still don't think theres a Houses of Parliament out there which is a shame...

Don't forget Gascooker's stuff; no British city would be complete without it!

Though it's not here, it's over at SC4D.

    Whaddya mean? It's four hours between your last post and your impatience.

    Anyway, Google Maps should give you some good map references.

    I'd start by making the roads, adiing buildings and build up the city.

    I don't understand why you need our help...

    You have STEX... you have your own imagination...

    it's gonna take a lot of patience and effort to create London...

    Tower Bridge and London Bridge are two different bridges. There are pictures of London on the Architecture, Urbanism and Planning thread. There are London Buses on the STEX in the Automata section. There are various London Buildings on the STEX also try SimCity4.co.uk

    Use the "Underground Map" a the top of the page, you will see that the station names have been changed to Mods, FAQ's etc., click on them to get to other pages.

    Problem with building London is that, while suburban London style buildings exist, nothing to recreate central London exists on the stex (well barely anything bar 1 or 2 landmarks).

    The closest you will get are porkies parisian buildings for Embankment/St. James Park/South Kensington/Leister Square/Trafalgar Square. The financial city should be easy enough, dockalnds too. The uniqueness of tube stations too is a pain.

    Last time I attempte a London map the hardest part I found was laying the rail lines because irl the sations are different to stex ones, for example charring cross is on stilts (ala el rail). while you can use nam puzzle pieces to lift the railway line above ground it creats all maner of problems with the river section (and it doesnt look right as a level crossing)

    I wish you the best of luck, I spent 2 days down there drawing a map if I find it i will scan it and upload it. 1.gif
