the TARDIS in Earls Court Road
It’s not really the TARDIS, of course, but it is an actual police box: The info plaque on it. Note that the dedication date long predates the revival of Doctor Who: I don’t know what the hell is with my expression here. Probably the ice-cold rain was hitting me right in the face:
