Elstree, Civil parish village north of London, England.
Elstree maintains green spaces between residential areas and light industry, divided by the Midland Main Line railway connecting Bedford to London.
The settlement name originates from the Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning Tidwulf's Tree, documented in manuscripts from the 11th and 12th centuries.
The village shares a connection with neighboring Borehamwood's film production heritage, although the famous studios are located outside its boundaries.
Elstree connects to central London through the A5183 road, formerly Watling Street, and the Thameslink rail service at Elstree & Borehamwood station.
In 1823, Elstree gained national attention following the murder of William Weare, whose case generated extensive media coverage throughout England.
