-'''Tudor''' is a moderate-sized mostly industrial town in western [[Alderney]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. [[Acter]] is to the north, [[Port Tudor]] is to the east and the [[Acter Industrial Park]] lies to the south. Residential Tudor is located in the western area of the city, that west of Ivy Road. The population of Tudor mainly lives in high-rise condominiums and apartments west of the Plumbers Skyway, which can easily be seen from driving on the Plumbers Skyway or in a helicopter flying over south and central Alderney. Only a few regular style, two-story apartment buildings exist and surround the condominiums to the south on Emery Street, which are mostly shaded by the shadow of the elevated Plumbers Skyway. To the east of Ivy Road the industrial area of Tudor, which unlike the Acter Industrial Park, it's neighbor to the south, the Tudor industrial Area is mostly short one to three story small factories and Industrial offices, with a few exceptions (Old Sprunk Factory). Tudor only receives little tourism, and mostly all from men seeking a good day at Honker's Gentlemen's Club on Tinderbox Avenue. Tudor can be accessed from the north of Alderney and Liberty City by completing Babbage Drive soutbound which runs into Niblick Street as it becomes Tudor. Also two exits and entrances give access to Tudor from Plumbers Skyway. A complete set of entrances and exits in the west at the residential section, and an entrance to the Outer Loop, and exit from the Inner Loop in the east, at the border of Tudor and it's neighbor to the east, Port Tudor, mainly used for access to Honkers, and the Industrial areas of Tudor, Acter Industrial Park, and Port Tudor.
+'''Tudor''' is a thirteen-block neighborhood in [[Alderney]]. It is located within Southern Alderney, bordered by Hardtack Ave in the north ([[Acter]]), Latchkey Ave in the east ([[Port Tudor]]), and Plumbbob Ave in the south ([[Acter Industrial Park]]).
-== Emergency Services ==
-The only emergency service in Tudor is a Engine Company Number 2 Fire Station located on Hardtack Avenue all the way at the west of the town in the residential area. A Police Station can be accessed on the Intersection of Lee Road and Vitullo Avenue in Acter. Only about one block inward from the border of Acter and Tudor. Also a hospital can be found in neighboring Acter at the intersection of Edison Avenue and Babbage Drive, around two blocks inward.

-*[[Satriale's Pork Store]]
+West Tudor is the residential half of Tudor, mainly made up of a mix of housing projects and hise rise apartments, a few small townhouses, and warehouses. East Tudor serves as the industrial half of Tudor, contains small factories, industrial offices, and businesses. The gang presence in Tudor is made up of the [[Pegorino Family]] and the Tudor Chapter of the [[Angels Of Death]]<ref>. In The Lost and Damned, it was revealed by Jim Fitzgerald in the mission “Liberty City Choppers” that there is a Tudor chapter of the Angels of Death. After getting into the truck with Jim, what he says will either be "Bikes are parked up by the Tudor chapters HQ", "They got these bikes at they're place near Honkers. Drive us, will ya?", or "The bikes are over at the Deadbeat's hangout in Tudor."</ref>
