EastEnders is well known for its iconic setting in the fictional London borough of Walford with fans being familiar with pivotal locations like Albert Square and the Old Vic.
However, it may surprise many to discover that the popular BBC soap opera is not filmed in London and has two sets.
If you've ever wanted to learn more about the behind-the-scenes of the programme, here is everything you need to know.
Where is EastEnders filmed?
The EastEnders set is much further away from London than its apparent E20 postcode might suggest.
Walford is actually located in Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, on the outskirts of the city, according to The Sun newspaper.
This studio is brand new, opening in 2022 at a staggering cost of around £87 million. This is located just up the road from the old Albert Square.
However, it has been reported that BBC plans to sell the new set straight back to insurance company Axa.
Despite the reported sale, the BBC has confirmed that filming will still take place here.
Can I visit the EastEnders set?
Sadly, fans are not able to visit the EastEnders set because of the show's constant filming schedule.
This sets the London-based soap opera apart from other shows like Emmerdale which do allow super fans to visit.
The visitor experience allows people to explore the fictional Yorkshire village and take in the 50 years of drama that have taken place here.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
