Where is eastenders filmed

It is also the name of a street in the East London district of Dalston, where Holland lived as an adult. The fictional borough even has its own postcode, E This was devised for the programme's launch in - at the time East London postcodes only went up to E18, although in a real E20 was added to the map to cover the expanding area around London's Olympic Park. However there is still no E19 in real life - the programme's producers opted to skip straight to E20 as they felt 'E19' was clumsy. The resulting one-off special, which saw the soaps' characters visit each others' homes, was dubbed East Street.

Albert Square is set in the fictional district of Walford in EastEnders. The outside set has been built to scale and scenes are typically filmed at least a month in advance. All the interior scenes are filmed inside studios on the same lot. While there have long been rumours that the set would move elsewhere it has remained at Elstree since the soap began in Sadly the EastEnders set or studio have never been open to the public and there are no known plans to open it up to tours.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet filmed at the studio in the meantime. The backlot area formerly used as the Auf Wiedersehen Pet building site is used to construct the exterior Albert Square sets for EastEnders. The Times reports that Eastenders may shift production to another location e. Pinewood Studios due to the deteriorating quality of the 25 year old sets at Elstree. The original sets were never designed for this length of run, and under the unforgiving HD cameras, the fake brickwork and wooden walls are beginning to be very obvious.

Work is underway to prepare a new site slightly east of the existing location for an expanded Albert Square, with higher quality sets, some of which may be practical. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. David Walliams Wall Of Fame. The main BBC office block features as the hospital.

The building site location is now the site of the permanent Albert Square set for Eastenders. The show was filmed here for the first series only. The BBC had bought the site the previous year.
