LOCAL HISTORY

Elstree & Borehamwood Museum

2026 is a very special year at Elstree Film Studios.
100 years ago a new film studio, British National, was opened
on 40 acres of land on Shenley Road on the outskirts of
Borehamwood.
Renamed as BIP (British International Pictures), later ABPC
(Associated British Picture Corporation), it is today known
as Elstree Film Studios.
On 2nd June a new exhibition opened to visitors to the Elstree
& Borehamwood Museum at #96 Shenley Road.
"A Ribbon of Dreams" celebrates the centenary of our world-
famous studios and features the stories of many of the film
and TV classics created there over the past century.
Now you can enjoy those stories, supported by films from
the Museum's archives and a range of props loaned by local
residents whose families worked in the studios and helped
build its history.
