EastEnders, the iconic BBC soap opera, is primarily shot in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, rather than London, despite its fictional location in Walford. A new set was unveiled in 2022, costing an impressive £87 million, although the BBC reportedly plans to return it to insurance firm Axa. Despite the set's sale, filming will continue as usual. Unlike similar shows such as Emmerdale, EastEnders does not offer fans the chance to visit its set, which has led to some disappointment among viewers eager for behind-the-scenes access.
EastEnders is filmed in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, located on the outskirts of London, contrary to its E20 postcode suggesting a London location.
Despite plans to sell the new set back to insurance company Axa, BBC has confirmed that filming will continue at the Borehamwood location.
Fans of EastEnders are disappointed they cannot visit the set for behind-the-scenes tours, which differentiates it from other shows like Emmerdale.
This brand new EastEnders studio opened in 2022 at a cost of approximately 87 million and is just up the road from the old Albert Square.
