Theres a works unit only exit on the M11 just south of J5 Loughton. I
assumed this was just another gritter depot or police escape road but
if you look on google earth theres some sort of office building with a
neat car park on the western side. Anyone know what this is? Is it a
motorway police station or something like that?

The site was originally going to be used for a motorway services area
(tentatively named "Chigwell Services"), but it never got built. It's
now used by the Police and Highways Agency as a control centre and
staff base.

One of the less interesting "works unit" exits. The fun ones have red
and grey signs.
