TARDIS laboratory
The Doctor's TARDIS had a laboratory.
Layout
The laboratory was around the size of a school assembly hall, when Barbara Wright visited it once. It had lines of long wooden benches covered with a variety of scientific instruments, from Chinese abacuses, to test tubes, to items from Barbara's future she didn't recognise. It also had a wall lined with computers, another wall with diagrams and charts, and a third wall with huge shelves full of files, papers, and books. (PROSE: The Edge of Destruction)

Amy and Tony Barker once accidentally stowed away in the TARDIS, and unintentionally locked themselves in the Doctor's laboratory. Later, the TARDIS landed on the Sense Sphere, and the First Doctor used his laboratory to synthesise prussic acid, which he then used to kill a Zilgan. Unbeknownst to the Doctor, Tony had been observing him from underneath a bench in the laboratory. (PROSE: The Monsters from Earth)

When Ace was new on board the TARDIS, she explored its interiors and found the lab. She thought it was similar to Frankenstein's lab, but with better lights. Ace didn't tell the Seventh Doctor she found it, because she knew he'd lock it up to keep her from making Nitro-9. She couldn't always find the place afterwards. (PROSE: Echo)
