A Bad PennySpoilerShow
Abberline waits on the Mansion House roof, pipe in hand, when Jacob arrives to plan how to stop Philip Twopenny robbing the Bank of England across the road. From there Jacob goes into the bank, joins a tour, peels off to tail the manager and the head of security, and gets the vault opened. He hides behind a painting inside and kills Twopenny through it.

City of London
The City of London is the borough of banks, trading halls and tall stone offices on the north bank of the Thames. In 1868 the Templar Bloody Nora runs it through the Blighters, and you take it from her by clearing her lieutenants, strongholds and factories before a final gang war.
