Fallout London Easter Eggs

Fallout London is one of the biggest and most sophisticated mods ever put together for any video game. Acting essentially as a completely new entry into the Fallout series, the mod recreates London in a post-apocalyptic state and gives players hundreds of quests to complete, as well as a range of new characters, creatures, weapons, and factions to engage with. Taking after the humor and creativity of Bethesda’s original Fallout series, the developers at FOLON have interspersed plenty of cultural references and Easter Eggs around the ruins of London.

While many of the references will be more noticeable to British audiences, there are plenty of nods to world-famous pop culture exports such as James Bond and Doctor Who. The mod also pays homage to several quests and themes throughout the Fallout series and even features some notorious characters from previous games. As with everything in Fallout London, the Easter eggs that are found within the game fit into the surrounding world seamlessly in a lore-friendly manner.

7 Banksy Artwork

The Legendary Street Artist’s Work Can Be Found Throughout The City

Perhaps the only thing known about the world-famous graffiti artist, Banksy, is that he’s British. Throughout the game world, players can find his graffiti plastered across various walls and facades, including in the opening section at London Bridge Station.

Some of the artwork references his documentary “Exit Through The Gift Shop”, while other paintings replicate similar real-world pieces. Players can also accept a side quest in which they must track down and photograph all of “Pipsy’s” artwork across the city.

6 Doctor Who TARDIS

The Iconic Blue Police Box Has Its Own Side Quest

For the Doctor Who fans out there, Fallout London includes a reference to the Time Lord in the form of several ‘Mysterious Call Boxes’ scattered around the city. Players are tasked with finding all of them as a miscellaneous side quest.

Interacting with the call boxes will help to decipher a mysterious code, though the boxes are anything but easy to find. In the sci-fi world of Fallout, the reference fits seamlessly into the surrounding chaos, but it is a nice tribute for fans of the series.

5 Alice In Wonderland Tea Party

This Subtle Reference Comes With A Unique Piece of Headwear

Lewis Carrol’s Alice In Wonderland is one of the most well-known works of Victorian literature and continues to hold a highly respected place in pop culture even today. Players can find a recreation of the Mad Hatter’s tea party, one of the most famous scenes in the novel, by heading to the South-East riverbank next to Tower Bridge.

Here, players will find a long dinner table with an assortment of strange objects on it. A unique item, the Barmy Tophat, is also left on the chair at the head of the table. Inspired by the Mad Hatter’s design, this special hat will grant players an extra +2 Charisma.

4 007 Mysterious Stranger

The Secret Agent Provides Assistance To Those Who Have The Perk

The Mysterious Stranger is a fan-favorite Fallout character who appears as part of a perk by the same name, offering deadly assistance on occasion when players use VATS. Fallout London‘s unique spin on this feature is to style the Mysterious Stranger after the popular fictional spy James Bond.

Fallout London: Best Traits

Fallout London lets players choose starting traits, similar to the traits offered in Fallout: New Vegas, allowing you to further flavor your build.

Rather than the usual American detective outfit, the Mysterious Stranger now dons a black tuxedo and arrives to his own Bond-style tune. Originally based on a series of Ian Fleming novels, the James Bond franchise is one of British cinema’s most successful exports. The series is also referenced by some in-game collectible magazines following “005”.

3 U-96 Submarine

The Stranded Wartime Ghouls Have A Complex Problem To Solve

Those who played the original Fallout 4 will remember a quest in which a stranded Chinese officer is found inside his submarine, many hundreds of years after the war that sent him there has concluded. Fallout London has a similar questline, only this time the occupants belong to the German army.

The name of the submarine, “U-96” is also a reference to a classic war film titled Das Boot, which follows the crew of a German U-Boat crew. Players can interact with the German ghouls aboard, and it leads to one of the best and most difficult side quests in the entire game.

2 Young Allistair Tenpenny

The Property Tycoon Has Another Explosive Proposal To Make

The Tenpenny Tower questline was a fan favorite in Fallout 3. Players could not only blow up an entire town and watch it from the view of a luxury penthouse, but they could also set a horde of feral ghouls upon the Tower’s occupants. Overall, it was one of the most memorable locations in the game, with many hidden secrets of its own.

Allistair Tenpenny, the hotel owner, appears in Fallout London as a younger version of himself. He owns a similar tower in Westminster called Tenpenny Manor, and he will task players with blowing up the London Eye in reference to the beloved Megaton quest.

1 British Brand References

The Game World Is Full of Subtle References To British Culture

Some references will be more familiar with Brits than those living abroad. A wide range of popular British brands are referenced throughout the game, such as Irn-Bru (Ion Bru), Prilladog (Pedigree), Singhsbury’s (Sainsbury’s), Greggori’s (Greggs) and Fesco (Tesco).

Players may also notice the names of famous English footballers on the back of Hooligans’ shirts, as well as recognize the dog companion Churchill from the popular car insurance adverts of the same name. There are plenty more British pop-culture references: from red double-decker buses to Royal Mail post boxes which occasionally spring to life.
