Day 29 – Favorite Location – Doctor Who 30 Day Challenge

12th Doctor and th Tardis in London

Not a quarry, but a city.  A big city. Known in Ancient Roman times at Londinium. One of the most wonderful cities in the world: London!

A bunch of scenes or whole stories takes place in the living settlement on the River Thames. Starting with the very first episode, An Unearthly Child, taken place at the fictional Coal Hill School in London, up to present day.

Among the different invasions of aliens, there was the infamous Daleks and Cybermen (at different and multiple times) trying again and again to take over. Which kept the First and Second Doctor very busy!

When the show returned in 2005,London was once again the star location of “Rose”.  The story used one of the newer landmarks as a… well, don’t want to get into spoilers :).

For the big 50th anniversary episode, it took place in various very popular London landmarks (Tower of London, Tower Bridge, River Thames, National Gallery, Nelson’s Column, Statue of Liberty… kidding, but I do remember several years ago hearing from someone who thought the SoL was in London).
