Ivy house

"He lived at Ivy House in the High Street, Hampton between 1945 and 1947 while working at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. There is a Blue Plaque on Ivy House recording his time there."

Excellent answer, but not correct.

[jackringer]

Between 4 September 1939 and the summer of 1944, Alan Turing lodged at The Crown Inn, at Shenley Brook End, a village to the west of Bletchley.

War did not stop Alan Turing being an individualist. In 1940 he buried some silver bars near Shenley. In 1944, 1946 and 1952 he tried to find them and failed. No-one knows what happened to his buried treasure!

Dollis Hill?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollis_Hill

The engineer Tommy Flowers joined the telecommunications branch of the General Post Office in 1926. While working at the research station in Dollis Hill in the 1930s, he began to explore the possible use of electronics for the telephone exchange. Experimental equipment that he built in 1934 went into operation 5 years later, converting a portion of the telephone exchange network into an electronic data processing system, using thousands of vacuum tubes.[38]

Dollis Hill played a part in the Second World War as the code-breaking computer used at Bletchley Park was built at the Post Office Research Station in Dollis Hill and the rarely used alternative Cabinet War Room bunker for Winston Churchill's government was dug underground here.

No, but the person the location relates to has been mentioned already in previous posts too, although nobody specifically asked if this was the person that the location relates to.

And that person is Alan Turing?

indeed
