Which Hertfordshire studio was a filming location for The Crown?

The story behind the answer

Which Hertfordshire studio was a filming location for The Crown? Elstree Studios was one of the series’ principal studio locations.

The production used Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, for constructed interiors and controlled studio work. Sets there included royal private rooms, the Cabinet Room, an approximation of 10 Downing Street, and the interior of a private jet. Much of the rest of the series was filmed at real historic houses, cathedrals, estates, and overseas locations.

Elstree is also a historic filmmaking area rather than a single universally defined site. Several studios have operated in or around Elstree and Borehamwood, so references can be confusing. For The Crown, the relevant facility is the Elstree Studios complex on Shenley Road in Borehamwood.

The other options are genuine British production centres, but they are not the Hertfordshire studio identified in the series’ production account. Leavesden is also in Hertfordshire, which makes it a particularly plausible distractor, while Shepperton and Pinewood are associated with other parts of England.
