Leisure Industry
Enjoying the Fruits of Labour

Eastern England has an important place in the history of film and television. The British Film industry was first developed in Hertfordshire and continues to operate there today. Elstree, Bushey and Borehamwood are the centres for this important leisure industry that still competes for audiences with Hollywood. Recent films made here include Star Wars and the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
