What would be awesome is if the game started during Big Ben was being built as well as as Tower Bridge was being built, just to add a very neat changing background to the city. This would be especially good if you could visit both buildings multiple times throughout the game (wouldn't Big Ben make an awesome platforming level, like Galata Tower in ACR?).

Personally, before ACIII was announced I was really hoping for the next AC to be set in Victorian London, because I just find it to be such an interesting time period, as well as the fact that the scenery would be so contrasted, with appalling slum-like conditions for the mine and mill workers, but wealthy mansions for the mill owners.
