Canning Town

Canning Town was a district in London. Ianto Jones lived at a flat in Canning Town with Soren whilst he was working at Torchwood One. (AUDIO: Through the Ruins [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)

Rose Tyler once suggested that Canning Town had a Fatboys Burgers. She thought it might be a bit closer than Phijax IV, where the Tenth Doctor suggested there were "the best all-night steak joints in the universe". (COMIC: The Glutonoid Menace [+]Jason Loborik, DWBIT comic stories (GE Fabbri Ltd, 2006).)

Behind the scenes[]

Although the comic doesn't specifically say Canning Town is in London, the gag doesn't work unless you assume Rose is talking about somewhere close to her home. And, appropriately, Canning Town in real life is on the East End, just as is the Powell Estate.
