Finsbury Circus Gardens is a location in Watch Dogs: Legion.
Background[]
The Finsbury Circus, named after the Roman circular arenas, is the largest public open space in the City of London, dating back to 1812. As one of the most high value properties in the City, the residents looked with dismay as the values cratered, first due to Brexit, then due to Albion occupation and subsequent attempt on Nigel Cass' life.[1][2]
Layout[]
The circular area is small, but densely packed with collectibles (note that the area is blown up even if players haven't reached that stage of the story, and collectibles can be grabbed as normal). The audio logs are in close proximity (one by the bar, another in front of the stage, and another backstage), the relic is under the stage (accessible via an opening in the base in the back), while the tech points and sole text file are at the bar, underneath and inside respectively.

| FROM: K. Miller TO: Cllr M. Hill SUBJECT: The Tainting of Finsbury Circus Gardens Mr Hill, as leader of our borough's council I strongly feel that it is your duty to deal with the matter of Finsbury Circus Gardens once and for all. It is an absolute disgrace to see what was once a wonderful and celebrated park, now transformed into nothing more than what looks like a common war camp. You should know that the garden and its surrounding area were once of outstanding property value all within the precincts of a clergyman, before a certain company barged their way in. Now it is completely undesirable with the riff-raff taking refuge and soldiers mucking about! Kindly resolve this situation before they also begin allowing people of foreign extraction to reside there. |

| Radio static. Albion Guard: Yes, sir. Preparations are back on schedule. I believe the stage is ready to go up. We anticipate no more delays. Unintelligible voice. Albion Guard: No, sir. These weren't your run-of-mill squatters. Those were cleared out last night. They seemed more... Organized. Protesters possibly. Unintelligible voice. Albion Guard: We took them all in. Anyone not able to absolutely prove their identification was taken to the Grounds. The rest will be spending some time locked up. Long enough to have a go at them. Teach them a lesson. Unintelligible voice. Albion Guard: Yes, sir. Full perimeter. Anyone trying to get through would need a tank, or five. At least. Unintelligible voice. Albion Guard: Confirmed, sir. Out.

| Albion Lieutenant: Sir! All serious injuries have been evacuated to nearby hospitals, as ordered. Nigel Cass: I want a full incident report, ASAP!... This was preventable, Harris. Human error. And it cost human lives! Innocent lives it was our duty to protect. Albion Lieutenant: Yessir. The vehicle and Flor-- Nigel Cass: Handle it!... Gather the media. I have something that needs to be said. Nigel Cass: We failed. This should never have happened, and I plan on making sure it never happens again. |

| Nigel Cass: Command authorization code Delta-November-Charlie-naught-naught-one, Director Nigel Cass.
Nigel Cass: Zone Supervisor Harris, the proposed measures will not be enough. Implement a full security perimeter. Sharpshooters on the surrounding rooftops. IN sight. Anyone planning to crash this event will think twice. No one enters the venue without being searched. Thoroughly. Let the protestors protest their rights; we have their safety to think about. Nigel Cass: Nothing left to chance, Harris. Understand? Be ready to act. The price of failure is too high. Over |

Get to Finsbury Circus Gardens and investigate the attack site." - ↑ Briefing: "DedSec discovered that Hamish’s contact from within Albion, a man named Radu Florin, was responsible for attempting to kill Nigel Cass. The wreckage of the armoured van he used in the attack, as well as his corpse were both quickly removed and sent to the TOAN, one of the sites targeted in the Zero-Day bombings.
Get to the TOAN and discover why Radu attacked Cass."
