Tower Bridge was a London bridge, over which people could cross the River Thames. The road which crossed the bridge was called Tower Bridge Road. While its northern landfall was located just beyond the eastern wall of the Tower of London, (TV: The Lie of the Land) its southern landfall was located in the borough of Southwark.[1]
The Fifth Doctor's TARDIS materialised near the bridge in 1984. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
In 2014, Jack Odwards was swallowed by a Gomagog wormhole underneath Tower Bridge, while swimming the River Thames for charity. (AUDIO: Kronos Vad's History of Earth (Vol. 36,379))
Tower Bridge was seen on a map of London used during the Monk invasion of the late 2010s. (TV: The Lie of the Land)
Behind the scenes
VFX shots of the CyberKing in London, in 2009's The Next Doctor, had to be fixed by The Mill after producer Susie Liggat noticed that 1851 London contained the Tower Bridge, which wouldn't be built for another four or so decades.[2]
Footnotes
- ↑ The map in The Lie of the Land shows the north end of Tower Bridge as being either within or close to the east of the City of London. When viewed in conjunction with the map of London boroughs seen in Revenge of the Slitheen, this would definitively place the southern end of Tower Bridge in Southwark.
