During the [[Auton]] incident, UNIT HQ was in a building in [[London]]. This HQ included offices, a science lab and a parking garage. The guards did not wear UNIT uniforms, presumably to keep a low profile. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')

There were two other HQs in London used after the first Nestene attack and prior to the move to Denham (see below.)
This HQ was temporary, and they later moved to [[Priory Mews]] in [[Denham]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Face of the Enemy]]'')
 
The HQ in the second Nestene attack and in use when Jo Grant first joined Unit, is difficult to identify and locate, as the images we have show interiors only. However, in footage of the incident when the bomb was thrown out of the lab window into the Thames, and other surviving views out of that window indicate that the building must have been on Lower Mall just East of Hammersmith Bridge.
 
Looking at buildings in that vicinity today, one can see an old (possibly 18th C.) house facing onto the river close to the bridge, and backing onto the City Arms Pub. (Probably number 3, Lower Mall) The first floor windows of this house are identical in shape and design to the one smashed in the Doctor's lab. Therefore it seems highly likely that this was an interim Unit HQ during this period.
 
The other location is 24 Cornwall Gardens, in Kensington, which was HQ during the International Peace Conference and again during the Axos crisis. There is some evidence to suggest that the Kensington Base was still in use at the time of the incidents with Azal. It seems likely that UNIT had two HQs at this time: one in Hammersmith and another in Kensington.
 
These HQs were temporary, and they later moved to [[Priory Mews]] in [[Denham]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Face of the Enemy]]'')

During the [[Sontaran]] incident in [[2009]], UNIT maintained a mobile base in an articulated lorry. The vehicle included offices and modern command and control facilities. Nevertheless, at this time, the official HQ was still in the Tower of London. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]'')
