The

) was an
air traffic control
centre
based in
West Drayton
, in the
London Borough of Hillingdon
,
England
, approximately north of
London Heathrow airport
. Operated by
National Air Traffic Services
(NATS) it provided air traffic control services to aircraft arriving and departing from six
London
airports, one
Royal Air Force
station, plus en-route services to other aircraft that entered its airspace. Internally within NATS it is usually known by the initials

. 'TC' and 'AC' (
London Area Control Centre
) remain separate organisations but now share the same site.
