Hurry Here to Find Doctor Who and Embark on a Fantastic Time-Space Adventure

📍 London · 👁 6461 reads · ❤️ 27 likes

A visitor from a distant time and space, traveling with brave and witty companions through the vast universe and endless time. He/She is witty, humorous, intelligent, and kind, saving the world (and time) from danger time and again, becoming the finest embodiment of British culture and temperament. No one can resist the charm of Doctor Who, and the city of London is the Doctor's eternal favorite.

Come explore London—perhaps around the next corner, a blue police box will shimmer into existence in the void, waiting for you to step into that wondrous world...

As one of London's most famous landmarks, Big Ben has indeed suffered many calamities in the Doctor Who series. Whether attacked by the Doctor's arch-enemy, the Daleks:

Or dented by a crashing spaceship:

Or assaulted by "ghosts":

Or even eating dog food (just kidding):

Or threatened by dinosaurs:

It's truly a bell that has seen it all. Thankfully, Doctor Who has always protected London's safety, allowing Big Ben to escape danger so many times. Let's wish it continues to stand tall in London, witnessing the city's winds and rains.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (original ticket price ¥153, free entry with London Pass)

Britain's national poet Shakespeare and Doctor Who felt an instant connection in the series. His plays were even used by aliens hoping to conquer Earth, because the power of language can open portals through time and space. Even the design of the Globe was specially modified as a ritual array to amplify the power of language!

In history, the real Shakespeare conquered all of England and the world with the art of language. The Globe Theatre is the best witness and companion to his success. Today, people can still watch Shakespeare's classic plays here. Without modern spotlights, microphones, or amplifiers, all music is performed live on period instruments. Audiences can transcend the bounds of time and cheer for Shakespeare alongside audiences from hundreds of years ago.

Tower of London (original ticket price ¥247, free entry with London Pass)

The Tower of London has a thousand years of history, serving as a castle, royal palace, treasury, arsenal, royal mint, prison, zoo, and more. Once hated by Londoners for representing the oppression of the ruling class, it has now become a landmark tourist attraction and an inseparable part of London's history.

According to incomplete statistics from Xiaolvcheng, Doctor Who has been imprisoned in the Tower of London at least eleven times since the First Doctor. The Tower also serves as the headquarters of UNIT (Unified Intelligence Taskforce) and, after 2050, a place to detain alien beings in the series. Try your luck in the dungeons of the Tower—even if you don't meet the handsome Doctor, you might encounter a "super cute" alien!

St Paul's Cathedral (original ticket price ¥180, free entry with London Pass)

St Paul's Cathedral, which suffered attacks from the Cybermen in the series just like Big Ben, was built in 1666 and is the second-largest domed church in the world. The British royal family has held many important ceremonies here, including royal weddings, baptisms, and state funerals. It is not only a solemn and beautiful religious building but also part of Britain's collective memory.

British Film Tour (original ticket price ¥108, free entry with London Pass)

In addition to Doctor Who, Britain has produced many excellent films and TV series over the years, such as the Harry Potter series, Love Actually, and Sherlock. Fans of British dramas can join the British Film Tour, led by a film expert and professional guide, to visit iconic filming locations and hear behind-the-scenes stories you never expected.

The universe is vast, time is boundless.

Crisis and adventure—who knows which will come first?

But in some corner of London,

There may be a blue box hiding, ready to open a new chapter in your life.

Why not come and find it?
