Frunobulax -

It's not that unusual - the approach radar controllers for Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, London City are all based at at West Drayton - (in the middle of a housing estate, about a mile from Heathrow airport).

They will all be moving to Swanwick (near Southampton) next year and will probably be joined eventually by Southampton approach radar.
