Location information
Though it's possible that a real world location doesn't exist in the same geographic space in the Doctor Who universe, such cases are few and far between. Thus, the map to the right is probably a good indicator of the DWU location of Honolulu.
The Eye of the Giant fails to define Honolulu further than this, but for ease of discovery, we place it in a category based upon its real word status as a United States city.
