The village of Elstree and Borehamwood are commonly linked, sharing a train station and being well known for being home to one of the most famous studios in England; the Elstree studios. Which is home to a variety of the top shows on British television, including Dancing on Ice, Strictly Come Dancing and Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The Star Wars films were also produced at Elstree studios.

Simon Cowell was brought up in Elstree, so it is perhaps unsurprising that he ended up producing one of Britain’s biggest ever television shows: The X-Factor.

Apart from its nearby neighbour of Elstree, other notable neighbouring towns include Hartfield (11 miles)
