Chiswick

Chiswick was a suburb of London, just west of Hammersmith.

Companion Donna Noble, her parents Geoff & Sylvia Noble, and Sylvia's father, companion Wilfred Mott, resided together in Chiswick, two and a half miles from Adipose Industries. Donna considered herself "the best temp in Chiswick". (TV: Partners in Crime). The Tenth Doctor introduced Donna as "Donna Noble of the Chiswick Nobles" when they met Agatha Christie on 3 December 1926. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Mr Maitland and his kids Artie and Angie lived at 30 Oak Street in Chiswick, according to a letter their nanny, Clara Oswald, received from Madame Vastra on 10 April 2013. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

In 2007, Donna was to marry Lance Bennett in a church there, but she was teleported aboard the Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: The Runaway Bride)

Rose Tyler, of a parallel universe's Torchwood Institute, made her way to Chiswick in an attempt to contact the Tenth Doctor when the Daleks stole the Earth in late spring, 2009. There, she rendezvoued with future companion Wilfred Mott and his daughter Sylvia Noble. Former Prime Minister Harriet Jones established a node of her Subwave network at the Mott-Noble house. The connection with that node was monodirectional, owing to Sylvia having prohibited her father from having a "naughty" webcam. (TV: Stolen Earth)

In the summer of 2009, Rakweed Spores spread across suburbs of London even hitting Chiswick. They were destroyed by Sarah Jane Smith and her Xylok super computer Mr Smith, when he turned on every sound system in the area, destroying the spores in Chiswick. (TV: The Gift)

At some point in the early 21st century, a sentient concrete disguised itself as a flyover in Chiswick, attempting to control the minds of the populace, before being defeated by Sarah Jane Smith. In 2010, Sarah Jane used a piece of the concrete to contact Luke Smith while he was trapped in the Nightmare Man's realm. (TV: The Nightmare Man)
