New London, Earth

New London was the name of a rebuilt London following the Dalek occupation of the 22nd century.

It was built on the remains of old London: while smaller, due to the reduced population, it was greener as many bombsites had been turned into parks. St Paul's Cathedral and Big Ben were two of the few older structures still standing. Susan Foreman and her husband lived there. In the early years, it was an independent domain under Lord London.(PROSE: The Five Doctors (novelisation), Legacy of the Daleks)

In 2199, there was conflict bteween the domain of London and Domain Haldoran. It ended with both domains combined under the new Lord London, Toby Barlow. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks)

In 2200, New London was capital of New Britain. It was conquered by the malevolent robot Mar-Kom, who froze all of Earth's inhabitants on time. The Doctor liberated the city in 3550. (COMIC: The Eternal Present) (The statis seems to have been prevented afterwards)

Central City had absorbed London in the 24th century(TV: The Sensorites) but still used the name "New London". Vicki Pallister lived here as a girl on the South Circular Road in Liddell Towers in the city, in the late 25th century. (PROSE: Byzantium!)

At a time when the entire solar system was inhabited and Earth unified, the United Planet Building was in New London. Defence Minister Tal Yorke held a press conference there to announce an anti-Dalek cordon, which the Daleks tried to sabotage. (PROSE: The Secret Struggle)

Behind the scenes

• The post-Dalek "New London" was introduced in the novelisation of The Five Doctors, in a newly-created scene done to show Susan being abducted. Legacy of the Daleks used the term but altered some of the details, having London as an independent domain rather than part of a "Reconstruction Government".
