I have just bought a copy of Sean Kelly's Home Bases. It describes the experiences of American military personnel based around London and includes:
Bushey Hall and Bushy Park, Eastcote, High wycombe, Northolt, South and West Ruislip, Uxbridge.
Rather than describe the book, the info is here:ushomebases.com/
