I'd go with Winchester too, the small corridor between Devon and Hampshire that you have created for yourself doesn't not have too many population centres. You only other bets are Bristol, Bath and ...er Weston super-mare?
Winchester besides hosting all the historical links, also has Army training regiment Winchester there. With United Kingdom Land forces HQ gone near Salisbury. Its the only really major garrison you could have. It would probably have a battalion or so still there when the nukes fly or possibly more if recruitment is high or conscription is introduced. It was prior to 1993 the Light Division Depot responsible for training for the Royal green jackets and Light Infantry.
Possibility of the the infantry demonstration Battalion being in warminster. But more than likely sent to eastern europe
Other troops in the area probably include the battered remains of the 43rd (Wessex) TA Brigade.
-The Wessex Yeomanry (TA): Light Recce
-6th Bn, The Light Infantry (TA) -
-Elements of 2nd Bn, The Wessex Regiment (TA)- This due to the fact that alot of it was based in Berkshire and hampshire too
