Borehamwood is historically part of the parish of Elstree and is a small town based southern Hertfordshire England. It was created on the 26th February 1909 and is 19km from Charing Cross. The town became well known from the 1920s as one of the main centers of UK film and later television, industries due to the presence of production studios. Gradually, the towns population increased after the second world war – large areas of council housing was set up for displaced Londoners, the majority of which are now in private ownership. The town has becoming increasingly popular due to the fast train connections in Central London.

The Borehamwood practical test center has a car park which means that the examiner may ask you to carry out the bay park exercise at the center itself.
