The Doctor referred to several places as home.

The First Doctor and his granddaughter Susan Foreman were "cut off" from their home planet, (TV: "An Unearthly Child") unable to return. (TV: "Bell of Doom") Most accounts identified this planet as Gallifrey. (TV: The War Games)

The TARDIS, the space-time vessel which the Doctor and Susan used to escape their home planet, (TV: The Name of the Doctor) could also be said to be the Doctor's home. Indeed, the Second Doctor told Victoria Waterfield that the TARDIS was his home "at least, it has been for a considerable number of years." (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) The Thirteenth Doctor identified the TARDIS as her home, as well as the home of her companions. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum)

Landing on the planet Earth, the First Doctor and Susan spent some months living in the year 1963, with the latter attending Coal Hill School, giving her address as 76 Totter's Lane, the junkyard where the Doctor kept the TARDIS. (TV: "An Unearthly Child") As acknowledged at the end of their fourth incarnation, the Doctor came to know Earth as their "home from home". (TV: Logopolis) The Twelfth Doctor, however, insisted that Earth was not his home as he explained to Clara Oswald why he could not interfere in the moon crisis. (TV: Kill the Moon)
