Herts Essentials in Elstree

Elstree is a large village in the Hertsmere borough of Hertfordshire, about 11.5 miles north-west of central London on the former A5 road, which follows the course of the Roman Watling Street. It recorded a population of 5,110 at the 2011 census and forms part of the civil parish of Elstree and Borehamwood. The village's name carries national recognition through its long association with film and television production — the Elstree studios that gave the area its place in British screen history — making it one of the most identifiable village names in the county despite its modest size.
