Elstree is a sizeable village tucked away in the Hertsmere borough of Hertfordshire, nestled approximately 15 miles northwest of Central London. Often intertwined with its neighbour Borehamwood, Elstree lends its name to numerous establishments in the adjacent town, further blurring the lines between the two. The village, however, is probably more globally renowned for its iconic film studios, including the BBC Elstree Centre -- the TV soap opera EastEnder’s primary filming location.

Elstree is also tightly knit with its international twins, Offenburg in Germany, Fontenay-aux-Roses in France, and Huainan in China, creating a wonderfully diverse cultural landscape. The village beautifully marries contemporary living with an air of historical charm and is further distinguished by its Jewish community, making a significant contribution to its unique persona. From delightful Grade II listed buildings like the Manor hotel to private schools that lend an old-world charm, Elstree is truly a village steeped in history, heritage, and culture.
