Elstree in the borough of Hertsmere, Hertfordshire, England is a compact village and suburban area just north of the Greater London boundary, lying alongside Borehamwood and served by Elstree & Borehamwood station. It sits on the edge of green-belt countryside with easy motorway and rail links and nearby open spaces such as Aldenham Country Park, giving a mix of village character and commuter convenience.
What really sets Elstree apart is its long association with the screen industries: the area is home to several well-known production sites, notably Elstree Studios and the BBC Elstree Centre, which have brought a steady media economy, occasional tourism and a strong local creative identity. Behind the studios there remains a historic village core with an old parish church, conservation areas and the sort of local pubs and societies typical of Hertfordshire settlements.
