Dist:0.3km north<br/>Located on Dollis Hill Lane, approximately 200yds from the one time Post Office Research Station. In 1939 work started on an alternative cabinet war room within the grounds of the research station called Paddock. There was no accommodation on site, so it was proposed that 60 flats in Neville's court would be used for housing war cabinet senior staff and secretaries. After the start of the London Blitz on 7th September 1940, Churchill visited the site and approved plans to knock two of the flats into one to form a double flat for himself and his secretaries. One week later the Office of Works requisitioned the whole of Neville's Court for the Government. information from Subterranea Britannica - see http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/p/paddock/index.shtml for the full story of Paddock.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This is now Chartwell Court flats. It was built in 1933 as the Post Office Research Station, which included telecommunications research. The history section of the BT website http://www.btplc.com tells us that: "What is generally regarded as the world's first programmable electronic computer (Colossus) was designed and constructed by a Post Office Research Branch team headed by T H Flowers (1905-1998). It was constructed at Dollis Hill, and transported to Bletchley Park near Milton Keynes, where it was demonstrated on 8 December. Bletchley Park was the centre of British wartime code breaking operations."

Dist:0.6km north<br/>The A5 probably has more than its fair share of north London's car dealers. This one is located near the junction with Humber Road, near to the slip roads down to the A406.
