Family Quarters
Family Quarters available to Service personnel serving at Northwood are situated in several local areas: the following areas:
All married quarters are administered by the DHE at RAF Uxbridge.
There are also other quarters within daily travelling distance over a wide area of North and North West London.
Applications should be made to DHE at 1-4 Jupiter Heights, RAF Uxbridge, UB10 ORZ for allocation of a quarter within 10 miles of Northwood. Accommodation is almost always available within the listed areas, but there can be no guarantee as to which area any given individual is allocated. Applicants should state their preference, but allocation will inevitably depend on availability, and no commitment should be made to schools etc. until a firm offer of a quarter is made.
A daily coach (Monday to Friday) departs RAF Uxbridge for Northwood in the morning and returns late afternoon.
