We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Where the studios are
Borehamwood is famous for its film and television studios, including Elstree Studios and the BBC's Elstree site, which have made the town a centre of British screen production for decades. Shenley Road is the main high street, and Elstree & Borehamwood station has frequent Thameslink trains into London. Aldenham Country Park lies just to the west. We collect from homes, studio gates, offices and the station.
Heathrow is roughly 29 minutes from Borehamwood when the roads are clear, and Luton Airport about 25. Stansted is a longer 49 minutes, and Gatwick around 1h 05m. Whichever you are flying back into, we keep an eye on the landing time, so delays never turn into waiting charges.
Early calls and late wraps at the studios are a regular part of our Borehamwood work. With King's Cross about 27 minutes away on clear roads, central London meetings are simple, and Watford General Hospital is close for appointments.
