London

London (ロンドン,) is the capital city of England and Great Britain, and the main setting in both series of Hellsing.

General
London is the home of the British government, the royal family, and many famous landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral and Trafalgar Square, most of which are purposely destroyed by Millennium in their invasion of Britain.

Originally a small settlement established by the Romans in 43 AD, London grew through the millennia to become the capital of England, Great Britain and the British Empire which, judging by quotes made by Sir Integra Fairbrook Windgates Hellsing and the Major, may still exist in some form in the Hellsing universe, or may simply be formal or metaphoric references.

The city of London appears frequently in the original anime series with the climatic battle in the last episode between Alucard and Incognito taking place in The Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral.

In the Hellsing: Ultimate OVA and the manga, London is only featured properly towards the end, when it is invaded and devastated by Millennium, with many of its famous landmarks destroyed by V2 rockets and a large amount of its population killed by the bombardment or Millennium soldiers. Many of London's population was also transformed into Ghouls.

Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in Central London. In the Hellsing anime, this castle served as the place where Alucard and Incognito fought.

Tower Bridge
The Tower Bridge is a bridge located in London, it's also one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of England, and the world in general. Also, this bridge is occasionally, confused with the London Bridge. In Hellsing, specifically, the Ultimate OVA and the manga, this bridge made an appearance when Millenium was invading London, causing mass destruction on both of the towers.

Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square is a public square located in Central London, the area was also formerly known as Charing Cross. Known for its many sculptures including the statue of Sir Henry Havelock and the statue of Charles I, Trafalgar Square is guarded by four bronze Lions sculpture. In the Hellsing anime, a car that has the Queen of England in it was attacked by an explosive weaponry, leading to some of the sculptures -destroyed, fortunately however, the Queen survived. Walter C. Dornez noted that the weaponry the attackers were using, is similar to that of an Special Air Service unit, meaning that this may be done because of Incognito, or his master.

Piccadilly Circus
Specifically, the statue of Anteros made an appearance in the Hellsing anime, when Sett was going berserk and causes destruction all over London.

Cambridge
Cambridge or The University of Cambridge is a university located in the center of the ancient city of Cambridge, 50 miles north of London. Specifically, in the Hellsing anime, a massacre happened in the girls dormitory, furthermore, the victims were drained of blood, while others were horribly mutilated and killed. Apparently, the decision whether to let some live or die, was based upon whether the girls had a sexual history or not -meaning that the attackers intentions was to make some kind of a vampire army -therefore, the attackers could be one of the highers up of the Master of Incognito's organisation. The witness also said that the attackers were around 60 group of men.

Westminster
An area located in Central London, this building was used to held the The Convention of Twelve meeting when the Hellsing Manor is unusable.

Hellsing Manor
The Hellsing Manor is a large mansion serving as the residence of the Hellsing family and the headquarters of the Hellsing Organisation. The headquarters of the Hellsing Organisation appear to be situated in the countryside some distance from London's outskirts, which could explain why Walter C. Dornez predicted that it would take many hours for reinforcements to arrive during The Valentine Brothers' Ghoul Army's siege on Hellsing.

In Hellsing (2001)
With the recent rise of numbers of artificial FREAKs created by the FREAK Chip made by some malicious Organisation, the descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing and her special, private Organisation prepares for the upcoming battle with the perpetrator. However, suddenly, the man who created the FREAK chip appears on London. The man named "Incognito" and his Master intends to take over England. However, a lonely true vampire named "Helena" resides on her apartment located somewhere in London, to which, Incognito fearing that she may cause immense trouble to their plans, murders Helena and devours her, goes to the Tower of London while his Master, who was later revealed to be one of the members of the Round Table, executes their plan to destroy England and Alucard by releasing the Egyptian deity known as Sett.

While Incognito's master orders the British Military to attack the Hellsing Organisation who was there to get ready for a memorial, Incognito goes there and waits for the Hellsing Organisation's trump card, Alucard lures Integra, knowing that their battle will made her try to go there and stop them both - he intends to use her blood to summon Sett. The Hellsing Organisation goes inside the Tower of London and was attacked both by Incognito who released his Army of SAS Ghouls and the British Military and Chris Pickman, the captain was saved due to the arrival of Alucard. Seras Victoria, who failed to save Helena and stop the Hellsing Organisation Military Forces to enter the Tower, witnessed Fargason's death and was in-raged, kills multiple Ghouls and later, engages in battle with Paul Wilson, Incognito's right hand man and a former SAS member. Alucard and Pickman wipes the SAS Ghouls and unfortunately, Pickman died but Alucard survived and enters the Castle to fight Incognito.

Alucard engages in an intense battle with Incognito after entering the castle and shortly, Seras Victoria who has killed Paul, tries to save Alucard by giving him Jackal's magazine after he ran out of bullets and fell onto Incognito's clever trap, but instead gets heavily injured by Incognito's dark magic.

Incognito laughs and taunts Alucard and Alucard responds back angrily that he will send him to the bottom of Judecca, and that he should lick Satan's ass down there. He uses his telekinesis power to pull the Jackal's magazine and pulls the trigger at Incognito's head once again. But, Incognito simply phased his head becoming temporarily invulnerable, Incognito proceeds to telekinetically hurled the Jackal's bullets back at Alucard, giving him a "taste of his own blessed silver". As Alucard dies, he tells Seras that she should've listened to him. Seras tries to drink Alucard's blood, but it doesn't do anything.

Soon enough, Incognito successfully kidnaps Integra and uses her as a tool to summon Sett. In immense pain and has a huge anxiety, Integra finally, losing all hope, commands Alucard to release level one, in which, he successfully revives - however, Sett was already summoned. With no use of her left, Incognito left, thinking that the level one was some sort of a bluff, and goes ontop to absorb the power of Sett. Fortunately, Alucard later teleports to Incognito's location, and Integra smirks. And soon enough, the two true vampire battles.

The battle escalates to the sky due to their immense powers, and then, they drop and causes the whole tower to burn in flames, however -doing little-to-no damage to both of the vampires. The intense battle ends with Alucard successfully killing Incognito, in which, he shows him his true identity before finishing off by impaling him -in a similar manner to how Vlad the Impaler impales his enemy to frighten the Ottoman Empire. Incognito's corpse was placed ontop of the Tower of London, hanging.

Despite Integra successfully defending England from the destruction caused by Incognito and his master, the government still blamed her for the million of death the battle caused, in which, the Hellsing Organisation disbanded and Integra was locked up in a cell with Alucard inside. Incognito's master was also punished, however, the punishment is unknown.

Millenium's Invasion
In the manga and 2nd anime, it is revealed that the upsurge in vampire attacks on British soil is the work of the sadistic Nazi Millennium Organisation, which has been hiding in South America since the end of the war, and has been building a battalion of vampire soldiers to reek revenge on those who defeated them, singling out Britain as their first (perhaps only) target, so as to destroy the Hellsing Organisation and Alucard, both out of vengeance for the part they played in destroying their earlier facility in Warsaw, and to remove them as a threat to their plans.

After Hellsing's attempt to destroy them in Brazil proved largely fruitless, Millennium launched its war fleet of three advanced zeppelins, which presumably flew the thousands of miles from secret Nazi bunkers in Argentina to England. Upon arrival over British airspace, the numerous agents Millennium had placed in Britain sprang into action, attacking military installations across the country or severing communications between bases, leaving the British Military crippled and unable to carry out any defense plans they had formulated.

The oblivious public watched in awe as the Millennium fleet flew over the London, positioning itself in its center and then after a toast to the massacre they were about to perform, began bombarding the city in all directions with V-1 rockets.

After the initial bombardment had set vast swathes of London ablaze, Millennium deployed its main attack force via catapult-like launch systems, dropping them into the city in their hundreds, where they began massacring and feeding off any civilians they found and wiping out pockets of military or police resistance.

The Battle of London
The arrival of the Vatican's forces and Archbishop Maxwell seemed to many of the surviving population to be holy salvation from Millennium's hordes. Unfortunately, Maxwell quickly dispelled their hopes by revealing his intentions; the Ninth Aerial Mobile Crusade was here to kill everyone - vampires and humans alike - in order to reclaim London for the Catholic Church. With that, over three thousand Papal Knights entered the city as their allied gunships opened fire on the streets below and Millennium's zeppelins.

Meanwhile, a detachment of Millennium's army led by First Lieutenant Zorin Blitz headed towards Hellsing Manor in a zeppelin, only to be shot down by Seras Victoria's Hallconnen II. With half of their number killed and most of their heavy artillery destroyed, the remaining vampires' advance was halted by a barrage of artillery fire and a field of claymore mines set up by the Wild Geese mercenaries. Unfortunately for the defenders, Zorin used her illusion powers to distract them while her minions used their combat knives as stepping stones to circumvent the minefield.

With the outer defenses passed, the vampires managed to breach the manor and kill most of the Wild Geese, forcing the remainder to barricade themselves in the conference room. Using the last of their rockets, the Millennium forces successfully breached the barricade, but Seras arrived and slaughtered them before they could finish off the mercenaries. When she confronted Zorin, however, the First Lieutenant trapped her in another illusion, leaving Seras unable to defend herself from a brutal assault that left her blinded, broken, and minus her left arm. Pip managed to save Seras before Zorin could finish her off, but ended up dying after being shot repeatedly by a surviving Nazi soldier and being impaled by Zorin's thrown scythe.

As Zorin summoned the remainder of her forces (left outside during the initial attack in case she needed reinforcements), Seras honored Pip's final wish and drank his blood, unlocking her full vampiric powers and replacing her lost arm with a tendril of shadow matter. Her newly-enhanced powers proved more than a match for Zorin's forces and Zorin herself, easily overcoming the latter's illusions before dragging her head against a wall at high speed, wearing it down to nothing. With the manor secure, Seras left the remaining two Wild Geese and headed for London to join the main battle.

The main battle sees Alucard and Alexander Anderson facing off, with the latter's power completely released, summoning his own army of souls he had taken over the years. Anderson cuts them all down, making a line for Alucard, badly damaged in the process. Alucard taunts him, asking how he'll hope to win when he barely has two arms to fight with, but Anderson preserves. To Alucard's disappointment, anger, and sadness, however, the Priest turns himself into a monster using Helena's Nail, snatching away Alucard's want and will to be defeated by a human. Enraged, Alucard destroys Anderson, who says his final goodbyes to Yumiko Takagi and Heinkel Wolfe.

Suddenly, a vampiric Walter C. Dornez charges in the middle of the heartfelt moment and challenges Alucard, revealing he was a mole for Millennium all along. He battles Alucard and actually has the edge on the battle for a while, until his new body starts to fail him and he starts to regress even further in age. Alucard, assuming his female form, begins to pummel Walter and defeats him, lauding that Integra and Seras will never be his again where they were before.

Integra and Seras then head for The Major, Seras dueling and defeating The Captain while Integra puts an end to the cyborg.
