From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of films that were shot at the MGM-British Studios, Borehamwood, England, one of several sites collectively known as "Elstree Studios".

The studios closed in 1970 and were demolished soon after.
The list includes feature films for which some or all scenes were shot at the MGM-British studios. It also includes television series for which some or all scenes (of some or all episodes) were shot on film at the studios.
