History
Pre-Covenant war
At some point prior to 2170, the Palace of Westminster was badly damaged in an act of domestic terrorism.[5] The United Kingdom ceased to exist[5] as a governing entity shortly thereafter (though the term still continued to be used for areas of its former governance).[6] Pieces of the Houses of Parliament, as the palace was also known, were gathered and some were restored. The symbolic action of such a restoration was vital to the creation of the UEG, and was also seen by some as a cynical attempt to play on the twin vices of nostalgia and patriotism.[5]
In the late twenty-fifth century, restored pieces of the original building were fashioned used to create a cavernous space where trials were held.[5]
By the twenty-sixth century, London's skyline had come to be dominated by monolithic arcology-like megastructures.[4]
Human-Covenant war
During the Human-Covenant War, Jiralhanae attacked the city. While UNSC M808 Scorpions were deployed, they were soon left abandoned. Spartans were orbital dropped afterwards.[4]
Post-Covenant war
In January of 2558, a trial for the smart AI known as Iona was held in a simulated environment modeled after this space.[5]
London was one of the locations that Jake Courage's collection of photography from the Second Battle of Mombasa, titled 'Shooting a Hero', was displayed.[6]
