This is literally the premise of the Fallen London gothic horror universe developed by Failbetter Games in three pieces of interactive media that I all recommend:
- Fallen London (2009), a text-based browser game.
- Sunless Seas (2015) and its direct sequel Sunless Skies (2019), a couple of exploration role-playing games.

I just remembered that it is also the premise of HELLGATE: London (2018) by T3Entertainment that I've never played.

I get the sense there's a basic joke here I'm missing.

@Brian Ó I believe the original joke was that London was a hell of its own even before falling, but I wouldn't miss a chance to promote Failbetter Games' work.

Sure, but is this riffing on some current event, or just a random joke at London's expense?

@Brian Ó Ah, that I couldn’t tell you.
