Within Assassin’s Creed Syndicate there are hundreds of things to collect. While some of the collectibles lead to item unlocks and resources, others are purely for collecting. Maps can be purchased from the various merchants in the city to mark all of the collectibles on the map. When you are close to the item, use Eagle Vision to hunt it down. This is made much easier if you have the upgrade that allows you to see and mark through walls with Eagle Vision.
Chests
Chests are found everywhere throughout the cities. Each Chest grants you an amount of money and valuable crafting materials used to upgrade your equipment. Buying the map to mark the Chests is always a good idea. If you collect the Chests marked, you will definitely turn a profit. Hold the action button near the Chest to loot it.
Pressed Flowers
Pressed flowers are located inside of books that are usually left on a park bench or near a tombstone. Collecting them unlocks different dyes for your clothing.
Poster Ads
While many Poster Ads litter the streets of London, only a few are collectible. These Ads are normally located at the front of the alleys branching off of the main road, or in heavily trafficked walkways in between and under buildings in the city.

Beer Bottles
Beer Bottles can be found in and around the various bars on the map. Purchasing the drinking guide from the merchant marks all of them on the map, making it easy to find the ones you are missing. Press the action button when you are near the Beer.
Large Chests
Large Chests require lock picking and a little bit more searching to find them. They do not contain resources, but rather blue prints and unique crafting materials.
Helix Glitches
Helix Glitches are found around the city, usually near high points or hanging over the middle of streets. Once you have the Rope Launcher, collecting these becomes much easier. Simply move through the Glitch to collect it. Helix Glitches unlock Audio Logs, which you can find in the Encyclopedia under Present Day Assassin Intel.
Secrets of London
Keep your ears tuned in while walking the streets of London, listening for the faint sound of a music box. These music boxes are the Secrets of London, collecting all of them grants you access to a treasure map leading you into Michael Reuge’s Vault, a secret vault hidden beneath the city where you find the Precursor Armor.
Royal Correspondence
Royal Correspondences are misplaced letters from London’s elite. Unlike other collectibles, Royal Correspondences are only found in the Borough of Westminster. They appear as a letter with a red wax seal. Picking up one of the letters grants you immediate XP, collecting all of them grants you access to Lady Anne Greenwood’s Cape as well as an Achievement/Trophy for your effort.
Letters from the Front
These Letters are only found in the WWI Time Anomaly. Be sure to collect them all when exploring London during the Great War.
