Walford Fictional borough of London, England

Walford is a fictional borough of east London in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. It is the primary setting for the soap.

Much of the location work is filmed in nearby Watford, which was chosen for many of the exterior scenes due to its close proximity and the town's name being so similar to Walford.

Locations used in Watford include most interior and exterior church scenes of various churches, the snooker club, the County Court and Magistrates' Courts courtrooms, and the cemetery.
