Doctor Who in London

Doctor Who Experience in London

Step inside the TARDIS and join the Doctor for a brand new adventure in 2011 with the Doctor Who Experience at London's Olympia (20 February - 22 February 2012). Book your tickets now to see exclusive Doctor Who scenes featuring Matt Smith. The Doctor Who Experience also includes an exhibition with costumes, Daleks, and the pandorica.    

The Doctor Fights Daleks in London

The Doctor has been fighting the Daleks in London for years. They made their first trundle across Trafalgar Square in 1964. You can spot one in Waterstones Piccadilly today.

The Daleks took on the Cybermen in Canary Wharf in the 2006 episode Doomsday.

In the 1984 story, Resurrection of the Daleks, the outside warehouse scenes were filmed at Shad Thames. You can still walk down the street and see the metal bridges above your head. There are no Daleks in Shad Thames today. You're more likely to get some delicious coffee and cake than be exterminated.

Alien Lairs in London

Scary aliens love visiting London. They like to lurk below the Thames.

The Empress of Racnoss built her lair under the Thames Barrier in an episode in 2006. Check out the Thames Barrier Information Centre to see how the barrier protects London when the Doctor is out of town.

The London Eye doubled as the transmitter for the Nestene Consciousness in the episode Rose (2005). Take a trip on the eye to see London from the sky. The pods are very space age!

The Cybermen took over Battersea Power Station when they decided to turn the human race into cyborgs.

The Doctor at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

When The Doctor met Shakespeare, they filmed inside Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Travel back in time to Elizabethan London and pretend you're David Tennant.

Luxury London

Even the most upmarket addresses in London have featured in Doctor Who.

Buckingham Palace narrowly missed being hit by the Spaceship Titanic in the Christmas special Voyage of the Damned.

The Slitheen infiltrated 10 Downing Street. After their evil plans were foiled by the Doctor, fictional Prime Minister Harriet Jones took over, followed by Harold Saxon (John Simm's incarnation of the villainous Master).

The London TARDIS

There's a blue police phone box parked near Earl's Court Station. Perhaps the Doctor and his companions are on their way to West London to take a BBC Centre Tour? Keep your eyes open and you might see a Dalek!

You can also see a TARDIS at London Film Museum. This TARDIS belongs to Peter Cushing, who used it in the 1965 film Dr Who And The Daleks.
