History of London
Incorporated into

21st century London was an era in the history of London; while the city was generally known to be a "focal point" for extraordinary events, the 21st century in particular had been witness to "several near-calamities and alien plots faced by different Doctors and their friends". (PROSE: Twenty-First-Century London ^[+]Loading...{"page":"28","1":"Twenty-First-Century London (feature)"}) In the 21st century, London's skyline included the newly constructed London Eye (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac ^[+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Everything Changes","page":"65","chaptnum":"3","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}) and, according to Elton Pope in 2007, had a population of ten million, (TV: Love & Monsters ^[+]Loading...["Love & Monsters (TV story)"]) however, according to Rose Noble in 2023, had a population of nine million. (TV: The Star Beast ^[+]Loading...{"timestamp":"00:37:18","1":"The Star Beast (TV story)"})

The Tenth Doctor believed London to be the "most exciting city in the world", (AUDIO: Technophobia) while the Twelfth Doctor, conversely, thought it was "a dump". (TV: The Zygon Inversion)

Overview

This section needs a cleanup.

Many of these event names are not coined by their debut television sources and are by later sources; those need to be cited too.

The early 21st century saw frequent and high-profile alien attacks across London. These included the Slitheen invasion, (TV: Aliens of London) the Sycorax invasion, (TV: The Christmas Invasion) the Battle of Canary Wharf, (TV: Doomsday) the Racnoss invasion, (TV: The Runaway Bride) the Royal Hope incident, (TV: Smith and Jones) the Titanic Incident, (TV: Voyage of the Damned) the March of the Adipose, (TV: Partners in Crime) the Dalek Invasion of Earth, (TV: The Stolen Earth) the Year of the Slow Invasion, (TV: The Power of Three) the Monk invasion. (TV: The Lie of the Land) and the attempted Destruction of London. (TV: The Star Beast ^[+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"]) According to some accounts, the early 21st century was when London, along with the rest of Earth, learned that extraterrestrial life existed. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) However, many events were later dismissed, (AUDIO: SOS, AUDIO: Hysteria) erased from time, (TV: Victory of the Daleks, TV: The Pandorica Opens) or simply forgotten. (TV: The Lie of the Land)

Official organisations, including UNIT (TV: The Day of the Doctor) and Torchwood operated within the city. (TV: Army of Ghosts) In the wake of numerous alien incursions, independent groups of defenders also stepped up to keep London safe while the Doctor was elsewhere; these defenders included the Bannerman Road gang, based in Ealing, (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen, PROSE: Day of the Clown) the Coal Hill defenders, based in Shoreditch. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die) and the K9 Unit. (TV: The Bounty Hunter)

Society

Government

As the capital, London was the home to the British monarchy, who resided at Buckingham Palace. (TV: Voyage of the Damned) The British government was based in London and met in the Houses of Parliament. (TV: Aliens of London)

Whilst acting as Lord Mayor of Cardiff "Margaret Blaine", Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen found that she was "[going] native" when she echoed Welsh complaints that London did not care about Cardiff, claiming that "the South Wales coast could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice". As such, London did not recognise the danger of her Blaidd Drwg project, which led to the Cardiff Earthquake. (TV: Boom Town)

Economy

SILOET operated out of London's old Television Centre. (PROSE: The Indestructible Man)

Late 21st century

An Ice Warrior damaged the controls of the Weather Control Unit in London's Weather Control Station, creating a dry environment to propagate the Ice Warriors' Seed Pods on Earth. Due to its cold climate and northern latitude, the Ice Warriors sent their Seed Pods here to create an atmosphere lethal to humans, but which the Ice Warriors could thrive in. The Second Doctor repaired the control unit and destroyed the pods with rain. (TV: The Seeds of Death)
