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)

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)
