    The UCL Observatory (UCLO) is a prestigious observatory on Watford Way in Mill Hill. It was used in Midsomer Murders as the location for the Midsomer Stanton Observatory, where the first murder takes place early in the episode during the solar eclipse. We learn later in the episode that local landowner and keen amateur astronomer Tom Stanton had the observatory built in 1936.
