Move!|Three [[Civilians]] notably shocked at the [[Scrin]] invasion of [[London]].}} The [[Scrin]] forces began by destroying at least fifteen [[civilian]] buildings. A [[GDI]] force arrived to stop the invaders and two GDI bases were established on the opposite side of the River Thames. Elite and heroic [[GDI]] infantry were tasked with defending the Houses of Parliament and [[Buckingham Palace]]. Meanwhile, the [[Scrin]] invaders had established a base of operations near a [[Tiberium]] field.

[[GDI]] resistance was very fierce, but the invaders managed to repel each assault on their base. Due to the low levels of [[Tiberium]] in the city, [[Foreman 371]] constructed [[Growth Accelerator]]s at three [[Tiberium]] fields to speed up [[Tiberium]] growth and destroyed the sonic fences surrounding the deposits, but these were destroyed by countable [[GDI]] forces who noticed the structure being built on the field of resources.

Once the aliens built up a substantial tier one ground force and a fleet of Stormriders, the aliens completely destroyed both [[Buckingham Palace]] and the Houses of Parliament. before focusing their attention on the two [[GDI]] bases across the Thames. They were both destroyed.

== Aftermath ==

{{Sidebox
The alien assault left [[London]] in ruins and all [[GDI]] forces in the area were destroyed. Just like the [[Nod]] capture of the [[White House]], [[GDI]] morale sagged when the aliens completely destroyed [[Buckingham Palace]] and Parliament House, two of the surviving monuments of western democracy. [[Foreman 371]] went on to continue diversionary operations in [[Munich]] soon after.

When the momentum shifted from the [[Scrin]] to [[GDI]], the indigenous resistance manged to liberate [[London]]. However, the extensive damage caused by the [[Scrin]] left [[Tiberium]] fields uncontained, eventually spreading throughout the city by 2062. Nearly all of the [[United Kingdom]] was in a [[Red Zone]], except the one in [[Manchester]] which had a full [[Tiberium]] wasteland before [[Kane]] unveiled the [[Tacitus]] and met the [[GDI]] leaders.

Attack the civilian structures with the disintegrators and the seekers. Once enough are destroyed a drone platform with gun walkers will arrive to build a base. Get many photon cannons and buzzer hives ASAP or the GDI forces will overrun you. Build large fleets of gun walkers, seekers and stormriders to crush GDI. Build Growth Accelerators on every tiberium field to get more resources and to complete the bonus objective. Destroy the structures designated as targets to complete the bonus objectives.
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* A edited version of the city can be downloaded in a map pack. The map mostly focuses in the Big Ben area of the city with Big Ben severely damaged.
 
* This mission is an allusion to H.G. Wells ''The War of the Worlds'', wherein the ending, the narrator finds [[London]] destroyed by the Martians.

Gen2 Gameicon The following is based on the cancelled game Generals 2 and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

The Helix is APA's primary aerial troop carrier with a flexible airborne platform. Just like its Chinese predecessor from the First GLA War, the Helix can transport infantry and can be individually upgraded with a bunker, a gatling gun, or a propaganda tower.
