Borehamwood Hillside is a largely residential ward on the edge of the town of Borehamwood, within the borough of Hertsmere in Hertfordshire, England. Sitting in the London commuter belt, it combines suburban streets and pockets of green space and sits close enough to the capital for many residents to travel into London for work, while still feeling part of a smaller town community.
The area shares in the local film and television heritage thanks to nearby Elstree Studios, and the local economy is a mix of retail, services and commuter income rather than heavy industry. Socially it tends to be family-oriented and diverse, with primary schools, community centres and small parades of shops serving everyday needs; historically the wider town’s development was shaped by the growth of studios and 20th-century suburban expansion.
