OK.
Imagine London as if it weer Paint YOur wagon (right down to horse ru=iding styles) with Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid in the starring roles.
Make the film an unannounced Ripper alert with a whole layer of Masons and pseudo-supernatural crap on top.
Use the jump edit, I'll look at something and know what happened there some time previously camerawork used on psych-detective shows and a soundtrack that has wandered in from another film (if you are unlucky enough to see it, you'll hear it!).
The CGI city looks less real than any 1940s film with the same seedy sets.
This is a film of truly horrendous emptiness.
It is not good.
It is not a romp.
It is not even unintentionally funny.
It is a total stinker.
Avoid like the plague even on free to air TV.
You have been warned.
