The HQ of Torchwood has appeared in both Dr.Who and it's own spin-off series, the latter being mainly focused on an adult audience.

In the Dr.Who episode 'Doomsday', aired on BBC1 in 2006 and featuring Billie Piper as her final role as The Doctor's main companion, it was set in Canary Wharf in London's Dockland's Development, with Tracey-Ann Obermann starring as Torchwood Director Yvonne Hartmann. The Torchwood HQ was destroyed during The Doctor's battle with The Daleks, but it also meant that it projected Rose Tyler into a parallel Earth in which she regained her natural father but lost virtually all contact with The Doctor.

However, in the main spin-off series 'Torchwood', it is set in Cardiff Bay in the capital of Wales. Starring John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Burn Gorman, the HQ was in a secret underground base in Cardiff Bay whose entrance was disguised as an old concrete municipal building that was long disused. In the five-part episode 'The Children Of Earth', aired in July 2009, this was destroyed by a secret bomb planted by English Government agents who disagreed with Torchwwod's approach to dealing with the alien invasion. The base was never restored.

A new series, 'Miracle Day' was created in 2011 with the same cast, but set not only in Wales but in the USA as well. Torchwood fans disliked it's removal from it's Welsh setting and the supplanting of the series to the United States, which meant that viewing ratings plummeted. As a result, there is little chance of the series being revived in the foreseeable future.
