Most of the locations are from the 'New-Who' episodes (2005 to now) but you'll recognise a few from the 'Classic-Who' series, so whether you grew up with William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, David Tennant or Matt Smith, there should be something for everyone.

See lots of famous London landmarks

Along the way you'll visit the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral where the Cyberman launched their attack on Earth, see where the Doctor rode an anti-gravity motorbike up the side of The Shard, and pass by the Globe Theatre where the witches wreaked havoc in Shakespeare's day.

Come dressed as your favourite Dr Who character

You might like to add to the fun and come in a costume (lots of people do!) so feel free to dress up as your favourite Doctor, assistant or baddie character from the last fifty years... just remember that there might be a few stairs if you trundle up as a Dalek!

Note: The tour includes a bus short bus ride so you'll have to provide your own Oyster card, contactless card or travelcard that covers zone 1, as the bus fare isn't included.
