Every Stop Has a Story

The "Secret" TARDIS

This blue police box, put up in 1996 to the Met's classic 1929 design, is the nearest thing London has to a real TARDIS.

The "TARDIS" Pub

A London Doctor Who fan group holds its Earl's Court socials at this traditional pub, a two-minute walk from the police box.

The UNIT Arrival

For the 50th anniversary special, a giant crane hoisted the TARDIS high above this square, with Matt Smith clinging on underneath.

The Dalek Invasion

The Daleks first glided across this bridge on a Sunday in August 1964, creating some of the most famous images in Doctor Who history.

Home of Rose Tyler

Known on screen as the Powell Estate, this Kennington estate was Rose Tyler's home, and the place where the TARDIS crash-landed in The Christmas Invasion.

The Cybermen March

Like the TARDIS, St Paul's hides a secret: Christopher Wren's dome is really three, with a hidden brick cone holding up the lantern on top.

The Shakespeare Code

Doctor Who was the first TV drama allowed to film inside the rebuilt Globe, and Lady Cassandra's voice belongs to the daughter of the man who campaigned to rebuild it.

Headquarters of the Great Intelligence

The Eleventh Doctor rode an anti-gravity motorbike straight up this glass tower, filmed in autumn 2012, months before its viewing gallery opened to the public.
