Every Stop Has a Story

The "Secret" TARDIS

This permanent police box, installed in 1996 as part of a public safety trial, is one of the last surviving examples of the real design that inspired the TARDIS, making it a pilgrimage site for fans.

The "TARDIS" Pub

Tucked down a mysterious alleyway two minutes from London's last original-style police box, this pub hosts regular Whovian meetups for fans who want to talk time travel over a pint.

The UNIT Arrival

A real helicopter, not CGI, airlifted the TARDIS across the London skyline and lowered it in front of the National Gallery for the show's 50th anniversary special.

The Dalek Invasion

To capture the eerie sight of Daleks gliding across a deserted Westminster Bridge, the crew filmed at dawn on a Sunday morning, before the city woke up.

Home of Rose Tyler

Known on screen as the Powell Estate, this real 1958 development was London's tallest when built, and its Hanworth House block served as the exterior of Rose Tyler's home.

The Cybermen March

Just like the TARDIS, St. Paul's is famously bigger on the inside: Christopher Wren hid a brick cone inside his triple-dome design to support the cathedral's massive roof.

The Shakespeare Code

The actress who played the "last human" Lady Cassandra is the daughter of the man who rebuilt this theatre, a fitting link for the Doctor's own visit to 1599.

Headquarters of the Great Intelligence

The Eleventh Doctor rode an anti-gravity motorcycle straight up the side of this glass skyscraper, filmed in late 2012 before the Shard had even officially opened to the public.
