What is Gangs of London about?
Gangs Of London follows the Wallace crime family in a state of flux when patriarch Finn is murdered, leaving a vacuum in London’s criminal underworld after a 20-year rule.
Earning billions a year through his dealings, mainly in the drug trade, his team has to figure out who ordered him to be killed, and who will take his place.
In the years that follow, with assassinations and changing aliases, the battle for control of London is brutal and never-ending as the issue widens to a global scale.
Soon, gang members in London, Albanian Mafia, Kurdish PKK and Pakistani drug lords are just some of the growing presences desperate for their piece of the world.
Will the Wallace Organisation be able to maintain their power? Or do they have trouble even closer to home than anyone realises?
First launching on Sky Atlantic in April 2020, the show became an instant favourite with viewers. Season two premiered in October 2022 and season three in March 2025.
