Castro Street

Castro Street was a street in San Francisco, California that was the location of a bar where the Eighth Doctor and Sam Jones encountered the vampire Eva in 1976.

When she first saw the Doctor at the bar that night, Carolyn McConnell thought that his Oscar Wilde-like outfit was flamboyant even by Castro Street standards.
