BBC Elstree Centre, Television production facility in Borehamwood, England.
Description
The BBC Elstree Centre is a television production facility in Borehamwood with seven large studios and purpose-built outdoor sets. The complex sits between Eldon Avenue and Clarendon Road and functions as a working production environment.
History
The site started in 1914 as Neptune Film Studios and changed hands several times before the BBC purchased it in 1984. That acquisition established the television production center it remains today.
Culture
The production facilities have shaped British television for decades, showing how a modern infrastructure creates series seen by millions. Daily work here generates scenes that become part of viewers' lives across the country.
Practical
Some outdoor areas are occasionally open for visitors during special occasions, though most indoor spaces remain reserved for active filming. Check ahead since access depends heavily on current production schedules.
