Eastenders is filmed on a set at Elstree film studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
However, please also see the attached extract from Wikipedia,
"EastEnders is set in the fictional London Borough of Walford. However, the central focus of the show is that of the equally fictional Victorian square named Albert Square.
The fictional Albert Square was built around the early 20th century, named after Prince Albert (1819–1861), the husband of Queen Victoria (1819–1901, reigned 1837–1901). Thus, central to Albert Square is The Queen Victoria Public House.
In the past, fans have tried to establish the actual location of Walford within London. Walford East is a fictional tube station for Walford, and with the aid of a map that was first seen on air in 1996, it has been established that Walford East is located between Bow Road and West Ham, which realistically would replace Bromley-by-Bow.
Walford has the postal district of E20, and fans have also tried to pinpoint the location using this information. However, in reality London East postal districts stop at E18; the show's creators opted for E20 instead of E19 as it was thought to sound better.
The strongest claim to being the 'real' Albert Square is held by Ridley Road Market in Dalston, a short pedestrianised road that features a daily market and established street vendors. The postcode for the area, E8, was one of the working titles for the series.
In reality, at least two Albert Squares do exist in the East End of London, one in Stratford and the other in Ratcliff, E1. However, the show's producers actually based the Square's design on the real life Fassett Square in Dalston. The name Walford is both a street in Dalston where Tony Holland lived and a portmanteau of Walthamstow and Stratford — the areas of London where the creators were born." |
