White London is one of the four cities in the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. It is characterized by its harsh, competitive environment where magic is scarce and fought over. The city is known for its brutal power struggles among its inhabitants, who are often willing to do anything to gain control over magic. In White London, the buildings are worn and gray, reflecting the city's struggle for survival. The ruling class, known as the White Londoners, are ruthless and will kill to maintain their power. This city stands in stark contrast to Red London, where magic is abundant and celebrated.
