The Maldovarium

The Maldovarium Trading Post, better known as the Maldovarium and also known as the Maldovar Market and Maldovar's, was a market settlement in the 52nd century. It was located beneath a space-time rift, known as Geryon's Eye, and atop a planetoid.

Features
The Maldovarium had a bar (TV: The Pandorica Opens, etc.) and several salons and cafés. Dorium Maldovar's quarters were located in the inner hub. (AUDIO: The Light Keepers)

History

Acting on this, the Nightstalker came to 1963 Shoreditch and attempted to kidnap the First Doctor and Susan Foreman. River Song also saw the bounty and followed him to Shoreditch.
