Nine Things In London That Look A Bit Like Stuff From Doctor Who
The BT Tower... surely modelled on the sonic screwdriver?
Left: Peter the Great statue in Deptford; right, Tom Baker in Timelord gear.
One of many Weeping Angels in London. This one's in Kensal Green cemetery by Wurzeltod in the Londonist Flickr pool.
A police call box, looking ever so much like your actual Tardis.
These old plans for Potter's Fields were nicknamed 'the Daleks'. The replacement scheme is far more sensible, alas.
The painted iron columns at Whitechapel station are surely recycled from old Dalek parts.
Remind you of the Tardis? This is Charles Rowan House near Rosebery Avenue. It was designed by Gilbert Mackenzie Trench, who also designed the police phone box (and thus the Tardis). Local estate agents no doubt claim that the flats are bigger on the inside.
One of the original masks from Tom Baker episode Robots of Death, held at Gunnersbury Park House museum (currently closed).
After their defeat, the Cybermen were put to use on the streets of London as cigarette stubby outy things. Image by Simon Webster under Creative Commons.
