White Rabbit ( London ) The White Rabbit was a London pub which was located near St Gart ' s Brookside Hospital . ( AUDIO : " The Longest Night " , " Project : Destiny " ) 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 " ) On 25 June 1906 , Richard and his fiancée Violet met at the White Rabbit . ( PROSE : " Prologue " ) The pub once survived a direct hit from a German bomb during World War II . ( PROSE : " Incongruous Details " ) At one point , it was owned by Dominique van Gysegham ' s first husband , who died in 1977 . ( AUDIO : " The Reaping " ) In 2012 , Flip Jackson often frequented the White Rabbit . ( AUDIO : " Quicksilver " ) Before his travels in the TARDIS , Hex would go to the Rabbit every Friday with friends . ( AUDIO : " Project : Destiny " ) He and his fellow nurse s would go there on Saturday nights as well to " blow off some steam " . ( PROSE : " Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast " ) He visited the place for a final time for his 23rd birthday on 12 October 2021 , where he first met Ace and was nearly killed before finding refuge in the TARDIS with her . ( AUDIO : " The Harvest " ) Hex had always planned to return there with Mark Mathias . However , Mark died before his return to London in August 2025 . ( 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 " ) Linda Grainger spent a miserable Christmas Eve 1990 in the White Rabbit after her boyfriend dumped her . ( PROSE : " She Won ' t Be Home " ) Immediately before Emily first met an 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 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 sedative s 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 " ) The White Rabbit was also where Ace and soon - to - be - boyfriend , and — some would argue — fiancé , Henry Noone , first met on 24 June 2027 . She later returned to use his mobile phone to contact UNIT and government agents for help , and the two thereafter frequently met there . After living together for around a year and finally defeating Nobody No - One and reviving the Seventh Doctor , Ace left with the Doctor instead of meeting with Henry at the pub as they had planned , after he wiped her TG tablet ' s hard drive clean . ( AUDIO : " A Death in the Family " ) It was later moved to Bedrock 12 during one of the wars , either the one with the Gelati , Dalek s or the Draconian s . Bernice Summerfield came here to meet Kadiatu Lethbridge - Stewart . ( AUDIO : " The Final Amendment " )
