White Rabbit, London
- You may be looking for the bar in Legion.
The White Rabbit was a London pub near St Gart's Brookside Hospital. Before his travels in the TARDIS, Hex would go to the Rabbit every Friday with friends. (AUDIO: Project: Destiny) He and the nurses would go there on Saturday nights as well to "blow off some steam". (PROSE: Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast) Hex had always planned to return there with Mark Mathias. Unfortunately, Mark died before his return to 2020s London. (AUDIO: Project: Destiny)
Emily Chaudhry described the pub as "warm and cosy". It was a frequent destination for UNIT soldiers. (PROSE: Incongruous Details) Emily, who wished to play with the Rabbit's quiz machine with some alcohol rather than run around with the Sixth Doctor, was godmother to the barmaid's son. (PROSE: Defining Patterns)
The Second Doctor, Ben Jackson and Polly Wright visited the pub in the 17th century in time for Christmas, but were quickly arrested for mentioning the "pagan" holiday. (PROSE: The Feast) Linda Grainger spend a miserable Christmas Eve 1990 in the White Rabbit after her boyfriend dumped her. Immediately before Emily first met an unknown incarnation of the Doctor in the 1990s, she was in the White Rabbit. (PROSE: Incongruous Details) On his first trip in the TARDIS, Will Hoffman was brought to the White Rabbit in the 1940s, and then in the 1950s. Emily thought it no mere coincidence. (PROSE: Defining Patterns) The pub once survived a direct hit from a German bomb during World War II. (PROSE: Incongruous Details)
The Seventh Doctor used it as a point of reference to prove that he, Ace and Hex had arrived in the correct location. Hex later expressed that he felt "like I've had the night with the lads in the Rabbit" because of sedatives given to him while recovering in the Crichton Building from a musket shot (AUDIO: Project: Destiny) fired at him by Bartholomew Kitchen. (AUDIO: The Angel of Scutari) The Seventh Doctor and Hex later visited the pub after defeating Nimrod. (AUDIO: Project: Destiny)
