In 1886, after encountering Silurians on an island in the Pacific Ocean, the Ninth Doctor dropped off Vastra, Jenny, Rose Tyler, and some of the crew of the Mary Anning at 13 Paternoster Row. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

In 1888, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised in the drawing room, which Jenny informed Vastra of as she returned home after hunting down and devouring Jack the Ripper. The Eleventh Doctor had come to enlist the couple's aid at the Battle of Demons Run. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)

In 1894, the Prime Minister came to Paternoster Row and tasked the gang with protecting Thaddeus Maine. (PROSE: The Singular Case of the Time Machine)

Also in 1897, Strax dumped two Esturians into the building's water tank, thinking it would make a good prison. The Esturians were boiled and used to make tea. (PROSE: The Terror of the Thames)
