The observant might notice a very high security fence on the left-hand side of the road. And that the sign at the slight bend in the road in the distance says "Northwood Headquarters". What the bland sign doesn't say is that behind the fence are five military command and control functions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwood_Headquarters : Headquarters, Joint Forces Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Forces_Command ; the Permanent Joint Headquarters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_Joint_Headquarters ; the Multi National Headquarters - this is for the command of European Union military operations; the Commander Operations for the Royal Navy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Operations_(Royal_Navy) ; and the NATO Allied Maritime Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Maritime_Command which reports to the Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Joint_Force_Command_Brunssum . Directions for how to get there by bus, underground, rail, car and air, together with info about the dental facilities and the Mums and Toddlers group, can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwood_Headquarters .
