A group of survivors who have formed a community at Buckingham Palace. They use the gardens for crops and its lake for water, and aim to expand into St. James's Park. They are considered a threat by other settlements who want nothing to do with them, especially the Squatters, who actively despise them.
•David King - Power obsessive boy, aims to take control of London and unite the kids, willing or not. He is shown to be posh and quite a snob and came from a posh boarding school, which he is revealed to have once been head boy of.
•Pod - Good looking boy, he wears a rugby shirt all the time and is head of security at Buckingham Palace. He is not considered very smart, but is loyal to David and always does as he is told. He is in a relationship with a girl called Maria, who is Al's (from the Tower) sister.
•Rose - The Palace's head of medicine. She treats all wounds there and is considered a professional of her trade, by kid standards.
•Jester - Also known as The Patchwork Kid, he is sly and cunning and has been shown to only look out for himself, though he tells himself it's not his fault. He serves David because he has the best gig and is open to taking control or moving on if he finds somewhere better.
•Franny - Shy head gardener for the palace kids, gives Ollie a lettuce with a slug in and claims that David will be able to solve all problems. She is shown to have feelings for David. She wears glasses.
A group of survivors who live in St. James's Park, and attain food through scavenging or attacking other camps of kids. They dislike organisation and resent the Palace kids, as well as the other settlements. They live in shacks and tents and have little resources, so fighting among them is common. Some of the girls in the camp have had babies.
•Just John - The leader of the Squatters, he is known as tough and is very unbalanced and unintelligent. He wears only shorts and is described as ugly with missing teeth and a shaved head with patterns in his short hair. He carries a three bladed spear, the blades being made out of knives. He is vicious and unpredictable and hates the Palace kids and all other organised and ordered kids.
•Carl - He is described as looking like a pirate, he is a year older than John and also his second in command. He is described as being much more relateable and understanding, but prefers to take orders from John. He's also a total asshat. He uses a machete and wears a bandanna and shorts, with heavy boots.
•Paddy - A young Irish boy, he has Halo figures and used to enjoy playing it. He hopes to become a good fighter one day and so looks up to Achilleus.
The a group of survivors that live in the Tower of London. The kids here use armour and weapons from the medieval ages and are slowly utilising the river. They grow some food, but mostly scavenge and explore the local area. They are on the East side of the No Go Zone and so have had little to no contact with the other settlements of kids. There are seven occupational groups/regiments: the Sappers (in charge of construction and demolition), the Armorers (in charge of furniture, non-essentials, fire wood and other non-food supplies), the Service Corps (in charge of finding and cooking/growing food), the Medical Corps (in charge of medicine and healing injured or sick kids), the Engineers (to deal with anything mechanical), the Tower Watch (in charge of keeping order like a police force), the Pathfinders (in charge of expeditions outside of the Tower) and the Tower Guard (in charge of guarding the Tower). They were originally run by Tomoki Ford, but when Jordan Hordern arrived he quickly took command and runs it like a military camp.
•Jordan Hordern - Jordan is now the leader of the Tower kids, after evacuating from south London, he is a tough leader, and makes sure everyone does two hours of fighting practice every day. He believes heavily on strategy and war skills. An absolute legend. Keep in mind, he also has to rule the kids despite nearing blindness.
•Ed Carter - Ed is one of Jordan's lieutenants, and is head of the guards at the Tower. He is liked by everyone and they all respect him immensely. Some are scared of his scar, which runs down the side of his face, which makes him look like he's constantly grimacing. It was caused by Greg with a meat cleaver in the second book, The Dead. Ed is renowned for his fighting skills.
•DogNut - DogNut is head of the pathfinders at the Tower. The pathfinders is what Jordan calls the scavengers at the Tower. Despite having a high position in the Tower pecking order, DogNut doesn't feel he is respected enough and so sets out to gain respect by looking for their missing friends and returning a hero. He gained his name because of his gamertag.
•Kyle - Kyle is one of Ed's lieutenants in the guard section of the Tower and acts as his personal bodyguard, constantly following him about. He is described with a bit of a squared head and also being very tough and a good fighter. He has dyslexia and is heavily implied to be a sociopath.
•Courtney - Courtney is one of the survivors of the boat crash and is also best friends with Brooke. She has grown a crush on DogNut over the last year and is only going on the adventure to get some time with DogNut relatively alone.
The kids at the Natural History Museum are run by a boy named Justin and are heavily interested in discovering the cure to the disease and to also understand it. They have few fighters don't leave the Museum very often. They grow crops in one of the courtyards of the nearby Victoria and Albert Museum and raid the museum for clothes, jewellery, weapons and items of interest.
•Brooke - One of the reasons why DogNut set out on his adventure was to find Brooke. Her hair has faded to its natural brown colour. She goes with the Tower of London kids on their journey back home but is wounded in the attack. She is revealed to be the girl that the Holloway Crew rescue in The Enemy, and the one who convinces Maxie and Blue to leave Buckingham Palace.
•Justin - "The king of nerds". He is the leader of the Museum kids and is originally from Rowhurst with Ed, Kwanele and others, but came to London due to sickos. He runs all the duties as the leader, and is bad at communicating with people who are not from his group. He originally started the Brain's Trust, which seeks to understand and one day cure the disease.
•Einstein - A tall boy, who is considered handsome except for his yellow and black teeth, his real name is Orlando Epstein. He is fascinated with biology and hopes to better understand the disease and also one day cure it. He is rude and sarcastic. Einstein leads the Museum Kid's search to find a cure and the expedition to Promithios. Keen to show off, he is not well liked by anyone but is important due to his knowledge of the disease.
•Robbie - The museums head of security. Has a flat, broken nose and spiked hair, he wears a leather jacket. He is described as quite short and doesn't posses any intuition to be in charge, as he doesn't feel like a born leader.
•Jackson - A 13 year-old stocky girl with a face like potato and has closed cropped hair. She is the best fighter at the Natural History Museum and nice to people. She wields a spear with a sharp end. Has a crush on Achilleus.
The are many groups of hunters, the most notable being Ryan Aherne's group, who are known to kill sickos and wear their skins. They use dogs as a way of sniffing out sickos and fighting them and are some of the best fighters in West London. They fight for settlements in return for payment in the form of shelter or food.
•Ryan Aherne - Leader of the hunters, he is a tall, kid with a scarred pockmarked face from acne, however he usually covers it with a human face which he presumably skinned off an adult. He uses a club which is banded by metal strips.
•Zulficker - Possibly Ryan's second in command, and a possible love interest. He is said to have the best ears in the group and wields a crowbar with a sharpened end. He is first mentioned in The End. He also knows a little bit about Shadowman.
•Dom - A large boy with a pudgy face. He is in charge of a smaller sub-unit in the hunter group.
The kids from the Houses of Parliament mostly vote on things and their leaders and have little fighters, relying mostly on the hunters. It is shown that they rarely leave the confines of the Houses, and they have some knowledge of what lies within the No Go Zone.
•Nicola - Prime minister at the House of Parliament. Described as being pretty with red hair and green eyes. She respects David but doesn't like him and it is suggested that she has feelings for Ed. Meets her demise in The End, after David shoots her for rejecting him.
•Bozo - Wears a policeman's helmet and is usually found on guard at the gates, he blames everything on the fact that he's an idiot. He was once one of the Cathedral kids, but left them and joined Parliament prior to the events of The Fear. Bozo dies in the Battle of Hyde Park.
•Buzz Cut - A boy with a buzz cut and no front teeth, who informs Ed about Mad Matt's religion, and that Bozo came from it. It is possible that he is the character below, having shaved.
The Cathedral kids (also known as The Greens) live within St Paul's Cathedral and mostly follow the religion of their leader Mad Matt, who believes in a new god and devil who shall rid the world of the disease. They all wear green and have built a large wall about the Cathedral. They have a well stocked food supply and constantly make "music" as part of their religion.
•Matt Palmer - Called "Mad Matt" by people not from the Cathedral, he is the leader in a new religion which sees the reincarnated versions of god and the devil in two small boys. He is considered insane and has a scab on his forehead which he believes is the sign of the Lamb, the reincarnated god.
•Archie Bishop - A large boy and Matt's right hand man. His father used to be a priest and so he has been raised on religion, though he doesn't seem to be as convinced as Matt in there being an actual deity.
•Tish - Sent by Matt to infiltrate the Tower, she is fourteen and dresses all in green, with a scab on her forehead. She is distraught over the death of her friend Louise.
•Louise - One of the kids sent to infiltrate the Tower, she is accidentally killed by Ed. She was close friends with Tish.
•Nathan - The head of defence and security at the Cathedral, he doesn't believe in Matt's religion and is more level headed.
