A warning in turn

London says: you have seen what became of the Forgotten Quarter. Soon your city will be just as empty. [...]

Perhaps London has also taken some other lesson from the example. But whatever other thoughts it has, it hides from you.

Description summary:
Most of the first paragraph varies based on the city's Chosen Site.

Chosen SiteFirst Paragraph
EalingRubbery spawn will fill the streets, and not just Rubbery men but the older more sessile creatures [...] They will slurp down anything human that still lives there. The urchins they will consume and excrete again: as brine, as oil, as storm-clouded amber.
EvenlodeWhen it has emptied of every law-abiding person, it will fill with criminals: [...] murderers will swim across the Evenlode to squat in its empty buildings. It will become like Gaider's Mourn, except that all its territory will be marked by feral lamp-cats.
BalmoralThen the Clay Highwayman will claim the place for his own and ride his steed through the streets. He will speak to the buildings in Loamsprach, and the bricks will wake up, and the city will become like Polythreme, awake and screaming.
Station VIIIThen it will become only another dormitory for Station VIII. [...] They will reorder the place so that none of the streets go where they used to go [...] they will flood the whole with a brilliant searching white light so that no one can ever act unseen.
BurrowThen the drumbeat will start under the earth, because you know what they say about all those lands around Burrow-Infra-Mump. And the city will cave in, dragged down by the aristocracy out of Hell.
Hurlers
MarigoldDevils will come hunting through the streets [...] They will be so tall and so many-legged [...] London would (it says) have faced just such a thing in '68, if Hell's advance had not been stopped. But there is nothing between you and the white towers.
