Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
St Mary Street has been used in filming for many episodes of Doctor Who and Torchwood.
In Rose, it was used for exterior shots of Henrik's, on Regent Street, as it explodes. In the same episode, people run around on Regent Street, again St Mary, during the Auton invasion.
In The Runaway Bride, the Tenth Doctor and Donna land the TARDIS on St Mary and try to hail a taxi. The building which doubled for Henrik's is visible in the background. Funnily enough, they're trying to get to St Mary's Church. Later on, the people gather on the street to look at the Webstar.
In Planet of the Dead, the Doctor and Christina board the 200 on this street, and the police chase after them.
St Mary Street has also been used in Everything Changes, as outside the pub where Gwen and Jack talk, Day One, where Gwen and Rhys watch a meteor strike, and Small Worlds, where Mark Goodson successfully gets himself arrested.
