Filming in East Herts

Hertfordshire is rapidly developing into the home for many large studios. The expansion of long established sites such as Warner Brothers Studios, Leavesden and Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, coupled with newer Sky Studios Elstree and the planned Sunset Studios in Broxbourne will make Hertfordshire the second largest location for screen stages in the world after Hollywood.
