London workers got a bit of a shock on their way into the office this morning.
A group of intimidating Cybermen from cult show Doctor Who invaded the city, marching through St Paul's and the London Undergound.
The stunt was to celebrate the launch of the Doctor Who Experience - a fully interactive themed adventure and exhibition opening in the capital in February.
The cyborgs recreated a very familiar scene from the famous 1968 episode The Invasion, posing on the steps in front of St Paul's Cathedral.
The Cybermen are recurring characters in the long-running series as foes of The Doctor in their conquest attempts to preserve their race.
While some adult commuters on the Tube this morning kept their distance from the cold, calculating cyborgs, the younger generation appeared blissfully unaware of their ominous reputation.
Six-year-old George David Craig seemed fascinated by the group of Cybermen, running to catch up with them as they boarded a Jubilee line train.
Visitors to the Experience will be invited to step inside the Tardis to become The Doctor's companion in fighting his other enemy, the Daleks.
The Doctor Who Experience, which will open at London's Olympia Two on February 20, 2011, will include special effects and newly-filmed scenes with current Doctor Matt Smith recreating the Time Lord's adventures.
It includes an exhibition charting the history of the programme from its first series in 1963 to the latest episodes. Original costumes, a Tom Baker-era Tardis and Cybermen, Silurians and a Zygon will also be on display.
