UNIT HQ, City of London

By late 2023, the branch of UNIT that operated in the United Kingdom had its headquarters (TV: ) located in the City of London, near the Gherkin. (PROSE: ) It had a helipad. (TV: )
== History ==
The previous headquarters was destroyed during the Master's Dalek Plan when Tegan Jovanka and Kate Stewart initiated the structural termination system to implode the building and entomb the Cybermen lead by a cloned Ashad. (TV: )
The UNIT HQ was among London's skyline (TV: ) by the November 2023 UFO incident. (PROSE: )
In February 2024, Sergeant Darren, located in UNIT HQ, received a transmission across time from his friend and coworker Sasha, who had been stranded in the Dark Times by an encounter with the Entity. After they ascertained her coordinates, UNIT called the Doctor in as "reinforcements", and he managed to rescue her, bringing it back to the 21st century; Darren then proudly reported that she was "safe and sound in UNIT HQ" to his commander.

== Behind the scenes ==
This UNIT HQ, going off the on-screen geography seen in , appears to be located the financial district of the City of London. However, upon analysing the position further, it makes less sense as it can be seen that and are located to the immediate area east, the Leadenhall Building north, the and to the south, and the construction site of to the west, thus placing the skyscraper in the middle of Leadenhall Street.
Furthermore, the UNIT HQ seen in is located where the Leadenhall Building is in real life; the road Ace parachutes down towards is Leadenhall Street. The Star Beast (set in late 2023) creates a minor continuity issue by showing that the Leadenhall Building is among London's skyline, despite that tower being non-existent during The Power of the Doctor (set in 2022). The Star Beast also posits that UNIT was able to clear the site of their imploded HQ, deal with the Cyber-Warriors entombed within, and construct their new tower all in the space of a year.
Additionally, the mini-episode — released in 2019 and set approximately around that time — showed the City of London as it exists in the real world, including the Leadenhall Building, not the building occupied by UNIT in The Power of the Doctor.
Prior to the airing of The Giggle, the images of both the newly bigenerated Fifteenth Doctor, first seen in the trailer following The Power of the Doctor, and the Fourteenth Doctor preparing to "regenerate", as seen in the trailer following , were modified to remove the appearance of UNIT HQ.
