Elstree Studios

Historically, the name "Elstree Studios" has referred to several film studios that were based in the town of Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, England. Most of these studios are now closed, and the phrase is commonly used as the name of Elstree Film and Television Studios, a privately run production facility owned by Hertsmere Borough Council.

The Jim Henson Company filmed several movies at the studio; including The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Muppet Show was filmed at one of the Elstree studios in its ITV days. George Lucas was a regular at the studio, making the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films at Elstree.
