Named here by Elstree’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Elstree, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

EastEnders 1985–
“Elstree is perhaps best known for multiple Elstree Film Studio complexes, where many films were made, including BBC Elstree Centre, where the TV soap opera EastEnders is shot.” Wikipedia
