Welcome to the beginnings of a site about Elstree Film Studios. The location has been used for movie / TV production since 1925.

Film Studios at Elstree
Elstree was a major centre for film production from the early days of cinema. There's a great deal of confusion about which studios at Elstree were used for which movies / TV shows.
This section covers Elstree Film Studios (also known as Shenley Road Studios, British International Pictures, Associated British Pictures, EMI Elstree Studios, Goldcrest Elstree Studios, Cannon Elstree Studios, Elstree Film & TV Studios)

Despite reducing the studio size by more than half in the late 1980s, Elstree is still a powerhouse of British film and TV production. A Tesco superstore was built on the former studio property in 1991.
