Open Homes workspaceAbout Borehamwood
Borehamwood grew from a small Hertfordshire village into a film and television town during the 20th century, centred on Elstree Studios. Classic British films, major television productions and long-running shows have been made in the area, giving it the nickname 'British Hollywood'. The railway and its closeness to north London made Borehamwood a busy commuter settlement. Today it has a practical rental market serving studio workers, families and commuters needing access to London and the M25.
